David, thanks much for the pointer. I had mutt call a shell script that
strips the "--" and then calls premail, which then calls sendmail. This
works for unencrypted mail. However, that's not the only problem. For
encrypting mail, premail expects a
To: him@there ((encrypted-pgp))
line, and Mutt has a "feature" that automatically mungs such lines into
To: "(encrypted-pgp)" <him@there>
I'd much prefer the default behavior of Mutt to be to leave headers as
they are written, particularly as long as they are RFC822 compliant.
Do you (or anyone) happen to know how to disable this "feature," e.g.,
what changes need to be made to the source, and in which file?
I found nothing about it in the manual, and looked in the source
but it was hopeless.
TIA,
