Seems like there should be a MUTTRC variable doesn't it?

I don't know if an alias like this would help.  It becomes
mutt -F $MUTTRC if MUTTRC is set, otherwise it is just mutt.
But MUTTRC doesn't have to be an exported variable.

  alias mymutt='mutt ${MUTTRC+-F ${MUTTRC}}'

or even

  alias mutt='mutt ${MUTTRC+-F ${MUTTRC}}'
