I think vim tries to write to the title of the xterm if DISPLAY is
set, or some such...I haven't had this problem in a while and I forget
the details. But vim is (or was) sometimes slow loading because of
that (although especially when one's DISPLAY is set to a remote
computer, which it isn't in this case).
Just to test to see if that's it, you might want to unset it before
calling mutt and see if that helps.
How long do you wait before hitting ^C?
