On your Debian machine, does the buffer come up in mail mode automatically?
I use the same basic setup, but MacOS X and Carbonized Emacs 22.0.90.1. I
found that I had to force the buffers into mail mode:
(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("mutt-HOSTNAME" . mail-mode))
And do the obvious substitution, of course.
