In the absence of a method in mutt, I'd use a vim autocommand, triggered
by the mutt-specific name of the temporary file. If you use another
editor, then it can probably do something similar. The one in my .vimrc:

au BufNewFile,BufRead   ~/Desktop/mutt-*   call Set_for_mutt()

doesn't perform any auto-edits, but you could put anything desired in
the editor function called, and it'll only run when the editor is
invoked by mutt.

An alternative might be to invoke the auto-edit via command-line
arguments added to the "set editor=myeditor" line in .muttrc. (Not
tried)
