Wild guess:
  1. Mutt saves the file to /tmp/something.doc
  2. Mutt runs "cygstart /tmp/something.doc"
  3. Cygstart starts Word (if necessary) and tells it to load the doc,
     and exits immediately.
  4. Since Cygstart has exited, Mutt deletes /tmp/something.doc
  5. Word is still loading the file and gets in trouble

If my theory, correction, wild guess is correct, then this might indeed 
help.
