For reasons that are still not clear to me, Mutt calls sendmail by
inserting a "--" argument between the options and the mail addresses.
Apparently this is an option recognized by later sendmails, so that even
if an address starts with a "-" (is that even RFC822-legal?), sendmail
will still recognize it as an address, not an option.
However, non-sendmail programs appear not to recognize this option, and
they get some grief from its use. I suggest you comment out the line
that adds this delimeter, in Mutt, and see how it goes.
