You could do something like the following:
Create in ~/ the files .mime.types and .mailcap 

~/.mime.types
application/pdf pdf

~/.mailcap
application/pdf; evince %s; test=test -n "$DISPLAY"
application/pdf; pdftotext %s %s.txt \; cat %s.txt \; rm -f %s.txt ;
copiousoutput

then edit ~/.muttrc and add:
auto_view text/html message/* application/pdf

If I didn't make any mistake you should get a text rendering
of the pdf directly in mutt (for a quick look).
I you want to see the pdf in evince hit 'v', select the pdf
and hit 'enter'.
