Does it still hang if you add '-F /dev/null' to the arguments? If not, 
then you've got something in your config that's making it hang. If it 
does still hang, you may want to bring your question to the mutt-dev 
list.

Yes, you can avoid using the -a flag multiple times, but only with the 
devel-tree version (1.5.x) of mutt. The stable mutt (1.4.x) doesn't 
have that feature. Here's the 1.5.x man page entry:

     -a file [...]
         Attach a file to your message using MIME. To attach multiple
         files, separating filenames and recipient addresses with "--"
         is mandatory, e.g. mutt -a img.jpg *.png -- addr1 addr2.
