How about a shell script that looks (vaguely) like this:

#!/bin/sh
LOCKFILE=~/.mutt.lock
if [ -f $LOCKFILE ]; then
  echo "Another Mutt session is already running ($LOCKFILE exists)"
  exit 1
else
  touch $LOCKFILE
  mutt $*
  rm $LOCKFILE
fi


... That's untested, I just typed it in, but hopefully it will work.
At the very least, with minor tweaking.


Hope this helps,
Mikko
