Thanks for looking at this.

I don't explicitly specify a from address when I use that same mutt 
binary interactively, as I'm doing now, and it sends mail fine 
interactively.

I tried the following three methods of specifying my from address.

1.
    EMAIL=garyjohn@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx echo test | mutt -s test garyjohn

2.
    export EMAIL=garyjohn@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
    echo test | mutt -s test garyjohn

3.
    echo test | mutt -s test -e "set from=garyjohn@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" garyjohn

All failed as before.
