That's just how mutt works.  Mutt is a MIME email client, and treats
everything as attachments (or nested attachments).  Your message is
listed as the first text/plain attachment in the list.  If you attach
anything else, they'll appear in the list.  Emails with one
"attachment" (i.e. just a message) are sent with the attachment's
Content-Type in the header.  Emails with multiple "attachment"s are
sent with a Content-Type of multipart/mixed in the main header, and the
attachments themselves are MIME-encoded.

(you should probably be asking mutt-users@mutt.org, btw)
