No, it was something different. I got a terminal and mutt was invoked,
but then the content of the body didn't make to the editor.

I think the problem was that my desktop environment was doing something
funky with the way it passed arguments to the mutt executable. After
reading your e-mail I fixed it by telling Firefox to call a script for
mailto: links, and the script is just:

#!/bin/bash

xfce4-terminal -e "mutt $@"



That's probably not arguments. Mutt probably can't run without a 
terminal. I bet the missing terminal emulator was the problem.

I have set up Firefox so that mutt is the designed e-mail
client. However, when I click on "Email link...", the e-mail
body doesn't go into the text editor (vim, in my case).


Make sure that the link you follow includes 
the "body" property with some value, e.g., 
mailto:some...@emailaddress.com?subject=Some%20subject=some%20body
