This works for me in rxvt, xterm, and the console:

# Show documentation when pressing F1
macro generic <f1> "!less /usr/doc/mutt-1.2.5i/manual.txt\n" "Show Mutt \
documentation"
macro generic "ESC[11~" "!less /usr/doc/mutt-1.2.5i/manual.txt\n" "Show \
Mutt documentation"
macro index   <f1> "!less /usr/doc/mutt-1.2.5i/manual.txt\n" "Show Mutt \
documentation"
macro index   "ESC[11~" "!less /usr/doc/mutt-1.2.5i/manual.txt\n" "Show \
Mutt documentation"
macro pager   <f1> "!less /usr/doc/mutt-1.2.5i/manual.txt\n" "Show Mutt \
documentation"
macro pager   "ESC[11~" "!less /usr/doc/mutt-1.2.5i/manual.txt\n" "Show \
Mutt documentation"

I think mutt considers this a job for the editor.  You can use Joe which
wraps quoted text correctly.  If you call it with jpico it will have
pico's key bindings.

I think Mutt is great.  One cool thing you can do in the message pager is
switch between a full view of the message and a split screen of the
message and the mailbox you're in:

# this binds 'z' as toggle zoom 
macro pager <ESC>z \
    ":set pager_index_lines=0\n:macro pager z <ESC>Z \"toggle zoom\"\n"
  macro pager <ESC>Z \
    ":set pager_index_lines=10\n:macro pager z <ESC>z \"toggle zoom\"\n"
  macro pager z  <ESC>z  "toggle zoom"
