Firstly, please wrap your text at less than 80 characters.
Secondly, Mutt calls a command line program, (usually sendmail,)
to send mail. Generally, the command line program will send the
message out over SMTP, but there is nothing that guarantees that.
Mutt leaves transporting mail to the mail transport agent, (as it
should!)
Lastly, I'm not sure what you mean in that your message body
appears as an attachment. In the compose screen, I guess, the
first "attachment" listed is the message body. I assume that's
what you mean. If so, then you need not worry; it's the message
body, not really a MIME part attachment like you might be
thinking.
