In your situation, I think mutt tries to execute the .mutt_alias file,
and that is, of cours, not possible.

I think $EDITOR is not defined. To be fully traditional, you should have
${VISUAL:-${EDITOR:-vi}}, or something like that -- it escapes the case
of not having the variable set by providing suitable failover.
