Generally, you can find out something by using 'ldd', like so:

    ldd /usr/local/bin/mutt

(or wherever your mutt was installed) That will tell you what dynamic 
libraries your mutt was linked against, and from the filename you can 
make a rough estimate of the version. For example, mine says:

    libgnutls.so.13 => /usr/lib/libgnutls.so.13
    libsasl2.so.2 => /usr/lib/libsasl2.so.2

...and so forth. From there I can guestimate the library version. 
Unfortunately, that's about as accurate as you can get.

On MacOSX, you use 'otool -L' instead of 'ldd'.
