So you're worried about the safety of deleted files? Disk encryption 
may not guarantee that the message is never stored in memory (and thus 
potentially swapped to disk) un-encrypted, so you definitely need 
encrypted swap space.

You can control where mutt puts its temp files (with $TMPDIR, 
according to the man page), so you can ensure that those are placed 
somewhere "safe".
