I followed Lawson's suggestion. I added the following line 
to my ~/.muttrc: 
set sendmail="/usr/sbin/sendmail -t [EMAIL PROTECTED] -oi -oem"
and it worked!

I suppose the right thing to do would be to fix sendmail's 
problem in sendmail's config file, huh? I will probably not
sleep soundly until I do; it's only a matter of time before
I try another MUA and _it_ won't work.

Would I have to edit sendmail.mc and run the m4 preprocessor?
