No permission problem.  I have the same permissions:

  ls -l /var/spool/mail/
total 4
-rw-rw----. 1 rgm mail 663 Jan 21 08:19 rgm
-rw-rw----. 1 rpc mail   0 Jan  6 07:03 rpc

and mutt opens the file.  But there is something it does not like about 
it.  Something missing.  Maybe I should Dave Crocker and ask him  :)

$ cat /var/spool/mail/rgm
