Bart's right.
--test and -v flags should be ok too.
-e doesn't normally produce any output (unless there's a problem).
-vv might show more of what's going on. Don't know though, never used -v 
or -vv with -e.

If you want to see what's included with the package that'll be removed, 
try 'rpm -ql mutt'.
