What a great idea. From the manual:
6.3.136. sendmail_wait
Type: number
Default: 0
Specifies the number of seconds to wait for the ``sendmail'' process
to finish before giving up and putting delivery in the background.
Mutt interprets the value of this variable as follows:
>0 number of seconds to wait for sendmail to finish before continuing
0 wait forever for sendmail to finish
<0 always put sendmail in the background without waiting
Note that if you specify a value other than 0, the output of the child
process will be put in a temporary file. If there is some error, you
will be informed as to where to find the output.
