In 1.6.0, mutt was changed to determine the fully-qualified hostname at 
startup using gethostname() and getaddrinfo().  The delay could be if DNS 
isn't configured correctly.

On Linux, a workaround is to add an entry to /etc/hosts:
  127.0.1.1   myhost.mydomain  myhost

I'm not sure how the equivalent is done on MacOS.
