Well i do not know Russell.  Why does your sendmail mess up the
MBOX in /var/spool/mail?  What has this MUA to do with that?
I have zero idea of sendmail, i read through most of the
documentation that comes with FreeBSD once, but many years have
passed ever since, and i am postfix guy in reality.  (That maybe
will look for real into OpenSMTPD some day, but not in the near
future; 'zero complaints on postfix, and am lucky to have it.)

What does

  # echo -e "to:  russell \nsubject:  subject \n\n Text" |
    sendmail -t russell;\
    cat /var/spool/mail/russell

say?  Is it the same messed up data?
What does happen if all you do is

  # echo -e "to:  russell \nsubject:  subject \n\n Text" |
    sendmail -t;\
    cat /var/spool/mail/russell

Ie, leave of the receiver argument on the command line of
sendmail?
