It's Thomas.  Adam is my surname.  The only thing that is tweaked for me
is the "-geometry" option.  The rest are standard vim switches.

Posting your ~/.muttrc file somewhere would help with this.  The fact
that the second window comes up correctly, is surely indicative that
this works.  Are you sure that cream simply isn't resizing itself to its
last known geometry?  Mine does this, but it doesn't bring up a second
window.

This leads me to conclude that there is probably something amiss in your
~/.muttrc file (i.e. you have two "set editor =" lines).  I've tried the
above command in several ~/.muttrc files I have on different machines,
and it works just fine.
