Sure, it can be done. Not exactly like that, though. The thing is that
mutt creates the temporary file for new messages; it doesn't simply
pass the message as standard in for the editor. So your filter has to
respect the fact that mutt already created the file. Try this: set
$editor to be a script... let's say ~/myfilter.sh. Now create the
script:
#!/bin/sh
filename="$1"
/home/$USER/bin/filter <"$filename" >"$filename".tmp
mv "$filename".tmp "$filename"
exec vim "$filename"
Of course, I may have misunderstood what you're asking.
