It's there:
5.3.3.3. Command Expansion
The various commands defined in the mailcap files are passed to the
/bin/sh shell using the system() function. Before the command is
passed to /bin/sh -c, it is parsed to expand various special
parameters with information from Mutt. The keywords Mutt expands
are:
%s As seen in the basic mailcap section, this variable is expanded
to a filename specified by the calling program. This file
contains the body of the message to view/print/edit or where
the composing program should place the results of composition.
In addition, the use of this keyword causes Mutt to not pass
the body of the message to the view/print/edit program on
stdin.
HTH,

The program isn't debugged until the last user is dead.
