uhm, so? when delivery is done via sendmail and fails later on, it was
successful from mutt's perspective. this doesn't have anything to do
with the case at hand. compare it with the case that the sendmail call
itself fails. in the interactive case, i'd expect the behavior i already
desribed. in the non-interactive case, mutt should propagate the exit
code, and the caller should handle it - and mutt should not create
some sort of backup of its own accord "just in case".
