If you edit your emails in mail-mode then emacs will understand all
about quoted paragraphs and reformat them properly.  You can do this on
a per-message basis by entering M-x mail-mode.  You can edit all of your
mutt emails in mail-mode by adding the following code to your .emacs
file:

(setq auto-mode-alist (append (list (cons "^\/tmp\/mutt" 'mail-mode))
                              auto-mode-alist))
