Try patching this out of the Message-ID generation and other
relevant code, it's simple. File a bug with mutt to option out
all this stuff in their muttrc before 1.6 comes out.

If that name being queried out the far end of tor bothers you, then yes.
Firefox always emits these upon startup, that's bad, I don't recall
when the lookup applies to mutt whether at startup or on particular
use requirement later.
