man sendmail(1):
With no flags, sendmail reads its standard input up to an end-of-file
or a line consisting only of a single dot and sends a copy of the
message found there to all of the addresses listed. It
determines the network(s) to use based on the syntax and contents of
the addresses.
> The line in .muttrc is
> set sendmail="usr/lib/sendmail -oi -oem"
> I can't find any docs on what "-oi" and "-oem" do.
man sendmail(1):
There are also a number of processing options that may be set.
Normally these will only be used by a system administrator. Options
may be set either on the command line using the -o flag (for short
names), the -O flag (for long names), or in the configuration file.
I don't know what these two options do, you'can try taking a peek in
/etc/mail/sendmail.conf (comment-documented configuration file).
So what I suggest your script does is:
- redirect stdin of your script into a temp file.
- vi the tempfile
- redirect sendmail's stdin from the tempfile
- remove the tempfile
