That's an SMTP limitation, right?
I take it mutt does not handle a messsage with a large number of
recipients by breaking up the send operation into multiple SMTP or
sendmail transactions each of which only attempts to specify 100
recipients?
[IMO, mutt is simply the wrong tool for doing mass-emailing, so I'm
not faulting mutt for not handling messages with >100 recipients.]
