Missing mail



I'm running Debian Sid with Mutt/1.5.6 and exim3 as my local MTA.

This is the first time I've ever seen something like this.  Hopefully
there's an obvious explanation that is hidden from me due to lack of
coffee.

I have a message in my =sent-mail folder that never was delivered to
my local MTA:

    Date: Fri, 29 Jul 2005 22:35:11 -0700
    From: Bill Moseley <moseley@xxxxxxxx>
    To: catalyst@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
    Subject: Branding - or path prefix
    Message-ID: <20050730053511.GA2838@xxxxxxxx>
    Mime-Version: 1.0
    Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
    Content-Disposition: inline
    User-Agent: Mutt/1.5.6+20040907i
    Status: RO

The message never made it to the list.  Looking at my logs on my
local machine nothing is happening during that time.

    2005-07-29 22:08:01 Start queue run: pid=5329
    2005-07-29 22:08:01 End queue run: pid=5329

    2005-07-29 23:23:01 Start queue run: pid=6658
    2005-07-29 23:23:01 End queue run: pid=6658
    2005-07-29 23:38:01 Start queue run: pid=6915
    2005-07-29 23:38:01 End queue run: pid=6915
    2005-07-29 23:53:01 Start queue run: pid=7189

I do see different message I sent to that same list (Catalyst) a bit
earlier in the above exim log:

    2005-07-29 21:07:48 1DyidY-00013c-00 <= moseley@xxxxxxxx U=moseley P=local 
S=2534 id=20050730040748.GA3488@xxxxxxxx
    2005-07-29 21:07:51 1DyidY-00013c-00 => catalyst@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 
R=smarthost T=remote_smtp H=mail.hank.org [63.205.225.170]

And also messages I've sent since then.

Nothing else odd in syslog and mail is sending fine since then.  The
exim mailq is empty.  I do use IMAP for fetching my mail.  I also
checked the logs on the IMAP machine (which is also my desktop's
smarthost) and its mailq and nothing.

It's as if Mutt just forgot to deliver the message -- but it still
ended up in =sent-mail.

I just sent again and it went without any problem.

Any ideas?
