This thread's got me interested. I've been using exim with mutt since,
oh, mutt 0.8something, at least. (I switched to both at the same time.)
I've never had a problem. Regarding "--":
$ exim -- rich
To: rich@localhost
From: rich@localhost
This is a test
.
$ <enter>
You have new mail.
$
So it doesn't appear to be a "mutt problem" or an "exim problem", but
an "unusual behavior at one site" problem. :-)
