Hmmm.. I call mutt from scripts called by cron all the time, can't see
why this is much different. Well, okay, cron uses the same user, so it
has a shell.

You could specify the muttrc file using the -F switch, maybe that will
solve yer problem? Or are you saying that is what you're doing but it
bombs? How about telling us the command/script and the error output?
luck,
