Yes, I have put these two lines in .muttrc and now I can see they worked.

I want to use /usr/bin/gvim as the default editor for mutt.
As you have suggested, I have done
export EDITOR=/usr/bin/gvim
export VISUAL=/usr/bin/gvim
in a terminal and run mutt in it. But the problem still exits
"Aborted unmodified message."
Anything wrong with the two lines above?
