Yes and no. Mutt is not multithreaded, so you can't have it handle the 
SMTP connection in the background, so, NO. But if you really want it 
backgrounded, why not use a simple SMTP sender (like msmtp or 
nullmailer or something similar) instead of have mutt do it? That way 
you *can* background email sending.
