Well, I use a script to load mutt anyway.  "m" for default mail 
operations, and "gm" for gmail, which takes special handling and another 
configuration file.  It wouldn't be much to write:

#!/bin/sh

# Load speakup's mutt configuration
/usr/bin/speakupconf load --config ~/.speakup/mutt

# Execute mutt for gmail
/usr/bin/mutt -F ~/.mutt/muttrc.gmail

# Reload speakup's default configuration
/usr/bin/speakupconf load --config ~/.speakup/speakup


	Like I said, I tend to do one thing at a time, so being able to 
load up a special speakup configuration for a particular piece of 
software would save on keypresses, but speakupconf lacks the 
functionality for it.  Man pages are another example of where I like to 
crank up the punctuation reading levels, or would want the option to 
have them cranked up for me automatically.
