I believe if you call the terminal as a login-shell, it would work.
The following works for me:
+------- in ~/.bashrc ------------------
| LANG="en_US"
| LANGUAGE="en_US"
| LC_ALL="en_US"
| LC_CTYPE="en_US"
|
| export LANG LANGUAGE LC_ALL LC_CTYPE
|
+---------------------------------------
+------ in ~/.bbkeysrc -----------------
|
| KeyToGrab(m), WithModifier(Mod1), WithAction(ExecCommand), \
| DoThis(xterm -bg black -fg wheat -ls -T E-Mail -e mutt)
|
+---------------------------------------
Check with your terminal-emulator's man-page - in general "-ls" makes
the terminal execute your ~/.whatevershellrc
