Or more generically, I use nn, and would like to use mush as my mailer,
but mush expects an argument.

I have tried in nn:
set mailer /home/speedway/rock/bin/mush
unset mailer-pipe-input

and even:
set mailer /home/speedway/rock/bin/mush_script
unset mailer-pipe-input

...where the mush_script is:
#!/bin/csh -f
recipient=`grep "To:" $1`
/home/speedway/rock/bin/mush $recipient < $!

Any ideas?

For those using rn, you might find some help from the script Rnmush:

#! /bin/sh -
# Rnmush -- script to use mush for Rnmail
#
# Based on Larry Wall's Rnmail
#
# syntax: Rnmush -h headerfile [oldart]		or
#         Rnmush destination-list 		or just
#         Rnmush
#
# This script creates two other scripts:
#  1) sh script, which takes care of merging the rn header file with
#	mush's editor temp file and then calls the regular visual editor;
#  2) mush script, fed via "mush -source", which sets up some environment
#	and arranges for the first script to be used as the visual editor.
