Hi,

Not with the lastest mutt, but the error is still there in different
situation. Suppose user already has "sent":

1. preparations

  mkdir ~/sent   or chmod ugo-rwx ~/sent
  
2. Try to send message

  mutt
  <compose ..., select "y" to send>
  
3. Error is displayed, message is not sent.

  /home/foo/sent is not a mailbox.

There should no Fcc: field inserted by default. The user to set in his
~/.muttrc if he needs one. Quoting Dave (from bugs previous's messages):

    ..if, for some reason, the folder ~/sent cannot be written to.
    Having a pre-existing directory called ~/sent might cause confusion, I
    suppose.
