It turns out that I screwed up the batch-mode test of the new mutt: I wasn't using the muttrc that set 'smtp_url' so mutt was using sendmail instead of its built-in SMTP client. For the particular destination address I chose, sendmail worked fine. When I repeated the test with 'smtp_url' set properly, mutt still sent the message correctly, but it also printed a lot of stuff: $ echo 'ya test 2' | bin/mutt -s 'one more #2' garyjohn Looking up mailsvr.spk.agilent.com...

It would be nice if it didn't print anything unless it failed. Regards, Gary
