Being a control freak, I patched mutt to have it show me the sendmail
dialog. Somehow I thought there was a configuration option which would
do this, but I could not find it, hence the ugly patch. Maybe it will
help you uncover your mutt/sendmail interaction issue.
To use: set sendmail_wait=-1. It's not pretty: the curses handling is
a mess and overloading a well defined variable is a bad idea. Caveat
patcher.
