Well, the value of sendmail *was* quoted when the folder-hook command
was parsed, but that operation stripped off the first layer of quotes,
leaving the folder-hook's second argument as:

    set sendmail=/usr/sbin/senmail -oem -oi

Hence the error you're seeing.  One way to fix this is to quote the
entire set command as well as the sendmail value:

    folder-hook ".*-List" 'set sendmail="/usr/sbin/sendmail -oem -oi"'
