Definitely it will expand with the geometry of the xterm you use.  This
is what I have in my ~/.blackbox/menu file:

   rxvt -geometry 100x45 -title mutt -e env LC_CTYPE=ISO-8859-1 mutt

The env LC_CTYPE=ISO-8859-1 is supposed to help render latin characters
with accents, etc but I'm not so sure it is working.  At any rate, that
is the command you could type in to have mutt take up a full xterm
(rxvt in my case) with 100px x 45 lines.
