vim-cygwin or vim-win32 ?
If you use the latter, you will need to have a non-forking vim. As "gvim
-f" as no effect, you need a way to wait for Vim to terminate.
I use a script of mine for this purpose -> cyg-wrapper.sh (which also
translate paths ; see sig.)

(I have (/had) no problem with the following confs: Mutt (compiled for
cygwin) 1.5.3 (&1.5.6) + Vim-win32 5.x->7 + Windows 95,Me,XP +
cyg-wrapper.sh)
My $TEMP (& $TMP) points to $HOME/tmp

HTH,
