Re: To travel the unknown space, where no man has gone before.

I have the same setup as you (Mutt, Vim, rxvt-unicode), though on Arch
rather than Gentoo, but I've never seen this behavior. I'd suspect it's
a plugin that's causing it somehow.

Mutt uses the value of your EDITOR environment variable to launch an
editor when composing mail, so I would suggest starting Mutt in a
modified environment so that it will launch Vim without plugins. Instead
of just typing `mutt` on the command line, use:

EDITOR='/usr/bin/vim -u NONE' mutt

Then, check whether you're still seeing the same problem. If not, then
you can start disabling your plugins in a binary search to narrow it
down to the particular one that's causing the problem.

Vim usually detects the filetype of Mutt's temporary files as "mail", if
that helps you at all in your search.
