I do have a line[1] in my muttrc to load the configuration depending on
the system I am. Doing that you only need a file per host. 

If you have two systems, "workssh" and "houselocal", your local-workssh
can tell mutt to use vim[2] and local-houselocal to use gvim[3].

   [1] source `echo ~/.mutt/local-$HOSTNAME`
   [2] set editor="/usr/bin/vim +10"
   [3] set editor="/usr/bin/gvim -f +10"

Hope this helps,
