1) Doesn't mutt expect the body on stdin? (Where's the 'echo' in the 
Asterisk command?)

2) Is Asterisk executing as root? Does the Asterisk user ID have read 
access to the TIFF?

3) If you use 'verbose()' instead of 'system()' does the command look like 
your shell command?

4) Is mutt in the Asterisk user ID's path?

5) If you redirect the output in the system() command to a file, does that 
yield any clues? I.e., system(foo >/tmp/clue 2>&1)
