Emphasis on the phrase 'some situations.'  More specifically it means
rebuilding the package, you'll need dpkg-dev package for it.

Get the source with 'apt-get source mutt', cd mutt-$version, edit
debian/rules, you can't miss the SSL part :)  Build the package with
'dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc -i' and install.

Putting mutt on hold or increasing the debian release number in changelog
(from 1.3.19-1 to 1.3.19-1.1 for example) will help apt not to re-install
non-SSL version next time you upgrade...

Though, once policy allows crypto in main, this will hopefully not be
necessary anymore.  Though, I'm not completely was this, or some licensing
issue, the reason for not enabling SSL by default.  Oh well...
