Wild guess 2 (sorry if I have missed this thought before)

/tmp/something.doc gets sent to cygstart... points to
c:\cygwin\tmp\something.doc, who opens word with "/tmp/something.doc",
who looks for c:\tmp\something.doc?

Saw a suggestion doing 

Application/MSWORD;      cp %s /tmp/blah.doc && cygstart /tmp/blah.doc; copiousoutput;

if they go this way, it (blah.doc) will probably not be deleted by
Mutt, who only knows of %s?

What happens if you do 
Application/MSWORD;      cp %s c:/cygwin/tmp/blah.doc && cygstart c:/cygwin/tmp/blah.doc; 

(removed the copiousoutput word, what does that mean?)
