When mutt is asked to qualify hostnames, it just uses regular resolver
functions (getdnsdomainname, I think). If you type, say, ping voyager and
it resolves to voyager.localnet, then mutt will do the same thing. With
your resolv.conf set up that way, this is what will happen.
I can't think of a good reason to have voyager.localnet. Is localnet
your loopback network, or a private network? Either way, you should
probably not use the same hostname for two interfaces on the same
machine - it's bound to cause confusion like this...
