Yes, this would be an easy solution, but it doesn't work for me (95.3i).
If the message is edited ("e"), the bounce function is disabled, and "b"
results in a Bcc: query instead of bouncing the message as it normally
would.

I knew there was a reason I didn't like "-t". Thanks.

I've looked at $@. Mutt passes "--", then the address(es), and .muttrc
includes "-oi -oem" in the sendmail call, so they may be needed (I
have no idea what they do, and couldn't find them in the sendmail docs
I have).
I'll remove the "-t" and use "$@", as you suggest, however I want to
dump the first argument ("--") first, as it makes premail choke. A
shift command should handle that, eh?

I did, just before writing this. It still doesn't work for me. Does
it work for you?
Thanks,
