If you're using an older sendmail, be aware that mutt appends '--' to the
end of your given 'sendmail' var before giving the message, to mark the end
of options in case an address begins with a '-'. Older sendmails can't
handle this. The fix is to edit the source to remove the one line that
causes this, search the mailing lists archives for details.
If that isn't it, try grabbing the exact data sent to sendmail by Mutt (use
echo as the sendmail command) and play around with it and sendmail to see
where sendmail is having problems.
