It has come to my attention...

Does Emacs say anything when it starts up? Something to the effect of
"Symbol's value as function is void"? I'm no elisp expert, but from
looking at this:
======================================================================
> (defun my-mail-mode-hook ()
> (auto-fill-mode)
> )
======================================================================
you might try putting "(interactive)" at the begining of your defun.
Something like this:
(defun my-mail-mode-hook ()
(interactive)
(auto-fill-mode)
)
That usually helps when you need a function to be called from a key
map or a hook.
Also, no offense, but that setup seems ridiculously complicated, try
this instead:
======================================================================
(setq auto-mode-alist (append (list (cons "^\/tmp\/mutt" 'mail-mode))
auto-mode-alist))
(add-hook 'mail-mode-hook 'auto-fill-mode)
======================================================================
For me, I don't even bother with something as complicated, here's my
little bit of magic for my email editing.
(setq default-major-mode 'text-mode);; Default major mode is Text
;; Text Mode hooks
(add-hook 'text-mode-hook
(lambda ()
(setq fill-column 70)
(auto-fill-mode)
(flyspell-mode)))
Cheers.
