I made sure I had exactly this and it does not work.

This is commented out. I even tried unset use_8bitmime. Still no joy.
In another mail, Staffan suggested "unset $dsn_notify" and "unset
$dsn_return". I tried this - still not joy.

I tried this too. mutt does not give a command line as far as I can see.
It just gives:-
Error sending message. child exited 127()
There was nothing in syslog.
Thanks for your help, but the problem remains.
