I think that when you invoke sendmail as a program, it won't pick up
the return path from the Return-Path header, it only does it from
the -f command line option. qmail uses the Return-Path, and Postfix
maybe too?, but not sendmail...
The reason why Pine works is that Pine doesn't run sendmail as a
program, instead it talks directly SMTP, in which case sendmail will not
change the return path and it's excplicitly stated already.
If you upgrade to Mutt 1.2, you can set the $envelope_from variable
which means Mutt will set the envelope sender to the same as the the
address in the From header. If you want to solve this and stay with
Mutt 1.0.1 (which is what you're using, according to the email headers
anyway) then you need to either add the -f option to the sendmail
invocation (the $sendmail Mutt variable) or create a wrapper script
around sendmail that sets the -f option in some way.
Hope this helps,
