I use a script similar to the following for this very thing:

----- bin/editor -----
#!/bin/sh
if [ $DISPLAY ]; then
  exec xjed $@ -tmp -f mail_mode
else
  exec jed $@ -tmp -f mail_mode
fi  
----- end script -----

and then set $EDITOR (or editor w/in mutt) to ~/bin/editor.

It works great for me.  :-)
