Mutt edits the message as a temporary file in $tmpdir.  Usually this is
set to /tmp.  Here is the relevant section from the mutt manual.

  3.307. tmpdir
  
     Type: path
     Default: (empty)
  
     This variable allows you to specify where Mutt will place its temporary
     files needed for displaying and composing messages. If this variable is
     not set, the environment variable $TMPDIR is used. If $TMPDIR is not
     set then "/tmp" is used.

Hope this helps,
