Thanks for the reply. The used mutt is version 1.18.3 (see debug log
below). I put a tee command between mut and sendmail to see what mutt
is spilling out to sendmail:

  ... | mutt -d4 .... | tee -a acqmail.log  | sendmail -t

Sorry I didn't look closely enough at your original email. It sounds like you are expecting the stdout of mutt to be the formatted message which you are then piping to sendmail. Is that correct?

As far as I know, that mode of operation isn't supported by Mutt. I'm confused how it is working, to be honest. Mutt expects either $sendmail or $smtp_url to be set, and it controls the sending itself.
