I have the same problem, chronically.

Brilliant! I'm gonna try that out and see how it tastes!

Here's how I'm gonna implement it:
~/bin/mutt-editor:
#!/bin/sh
while true;do
${VISUAL:-${EDITOR:-vi}} $1
egrep -w 'attach|(ment|ed)' $1 >/dev/null || exit
echo -n 'Do you need to attach a file? '
read ans
case "$ans" in
[yY]*) continue;;
esac
exit
done
and of course in ~/.muttrc:
set editor=~/bin/mutt-editor
(with ~ expanded of course).
