Yup.  And the mutt man page even specifies exactly this:

        EDITOR Specifies the editor to use if VISUAL is unset.
         .
         .
         .
        VISUAL Specifies the editor to use when composing messages.

Anyone still confused should take a look at the man page.  If that's
not enough to resolve the question, it's probably best to consult mutt-
specific resources for this information unless it becomes clear that
the issue is Cygwin-specific.
