Apparently you forgot to include your .muttrc entries.
You can use the -c option multiple times, so you can follow whatever
options you used to place the cursor with
-c 'set spell'
or
-c "set spell"
depending on how you're quoting the 'editor' value. For example
(untested):
set editor='vim +/^$ -c "set spell"'
Instead of setting vim options such as 'spell' in your .muttrc, you
might consider putting those options in a vim filetype plugin file.
To do that, make sure your .vimrc has a line like this:
filetype plugin on
Then create a file named ~/.vim/after/ftplugin/mail.vim and
containing this line:
setlocal spell
Doing all that for one vim setting might not be worth the trouble,
but it's a nicer way to manage multiple mail-only settings.
HTH,
