I'm wondering if displaying "mutt" in a one-line help message is
showing unnecessary favoritism for a non-standard MUA.

Fwiw, "mailx -f" is POSIX, but only for mbox.  While both
Heirloom mailx and GNU mailutils mailx support Maildir, but
bsd-mailx (the default on Debian, AFAIK) does not...

FreeBSD mailx does not do Maildir, either (tested 12.1 and 11.4).
