Aliases can't, AFAIK, be exported like variables.
You could make a small wrapper-script in ~/bin.
(Check that ~/bin is on your path).

executing a command within mutt

When I try to issue an alias (set in ~/.bash_profile) inside mutt, 
(with '!') it won't recognize the alias.

On the shell prompt OTOH, this works as always. Is it that alias'd
