You runs mutt as root?  That would give me the wilies!  I assumed
that no one would try that!   

I, of course, meant the instructions as a suggeation for the users
.muttrc.  If you run mutt as root I have no advice other then, 
don't.

So what do you do about your /etc/ppp/pap-secrets file?  It has the
same permissions as the your root .muttrc? Get hacked and it's just as
bad.
