Hi, Sergio.
In which mode are you composing the message (mail-mode, post-mode)?
It is possible (according to your mode/configuration) emacs is trying
to narrowing out the headers (see the narrowing section in the emacs
user manual).
Try M-x widen in the message buffer to verify this.
You can also check the muttrc option:
set edit_headers # let you edit the message headers when editing the message
to get sure you're passing the headers to emacs.
