By '<shell-escape>' Michael means the mutt function which
runs a shell command.  It is bound to the '!' key by
default.

If you type '!' and mutt will prompt with 'Shell command: '
and then you'd put in 'env | less' (no quotes) or 'printenv
PATH | less' or any number of other ways to inspect the
environment for the PATH variable as mutt sees it.

If you start mutt via ssh or as a direct command in some
terminal's profile, this may well differ from what you get
if you directly start a shell.  That can easily be the
reason that PATH contains ~/bin in your shell sessions but
not mutt's.
