with this hack you have no error checking at all, and

Agree, although I'm not sure about that last bit... Mutt closes all
file descriptors (except stdin) before executing sendmail, some of the
time. [...]
but that's exactly the point: he uses *mutt's (and its child processes')
actual stdout* as sendmail's input, not the interface that was designed
for that.
perhaps it makes sense for Mutt to unconditionally
reset the disposition of ALL signals to default before it does much of
anything else,
i wouldn't do that (in any case), because it delays the discovery of
bogus assumptions (== bugs) in other software.
