This message ususally indicates a syntax error on the sendmail command
line that Mutt creates.

Things that can affect the sendmail command line are $dsn_notify and
$dsn_return.  Try disabling these, if you have somehow enabled them.

Also, Mutt uses the convention "--" to indicate to sendmail when it is
about to give a mail address.  Try using a command like this:

    sendmail -oem -oi -- user@example.com

And see if sendmail complains about that.  If it complains about the
"--" option, you can either upgrade your sendmail or edit Mutt's source
and remove the code that appends the "--" option.  Also complain to
mutt-dev if you have to do this.  :)
