Well, it's never occurred to me to pause to figure out how to use mutt to send email on the command line, because the MUA I used before mutt was traditional unix "mail"¹, and it is infinitely easier to just apt-get that. A "man mail" shows that it's: bsd-mailx - simple mail user agent that I'm using ATM. As /usr/bin/bsd-mailx is only 92 kB in size, it doesn't add much ballast to mutt 1.8.0 at 2.46 MB. Mind you, it may just be that running an MTA here (postfix these days) is what avoids your problems. That was easy to set up after the first effort, given that I keep a few notes to avoid excessive brow furrowing next time round. ¹ It was what we had on HP-UX and Solaris boxes back in the 1980s, and it still works the same.
