I am surprised, this works for your normal editor command. From my
understanding, Vim should try to open 2 files, namely ':r !cat /tmp/bla'
and the /tmp/mutt-... (which is your actual mail template.
To make this work, you should at least add the -c command to vim, to
make sure, you want the argument be interpreted as a command to execute
on startup.
