My mistake, your example doesn't work for me. The reason is that
-a accepts multiple attachments, so you need to specify -- before
addresses:
mutt -a file -- addr </dev/null
Prior to http://dev.mutt.org/trac/changeset/31c9e9727d42 mutt
would scan for a double-dash in the arguments, and would treat -a
differently depending on whether the double-dash was found. This
was error-prone and inconsistent on different operating systems.
See http://dev.mutt.org/trac/ticket/3097
I hope we don't have to reinstate a hack to pre-detect the
double-dash... Just digs us deeper into the mess of a polymorphic
command-line.
