Well, to *debug* it is easy, just use mutt's debugging mode, and have 
`tail -F ~/.muttdebug0` running in another terminal.

Generally, though, that's probably an issue with your sendmail, and 
you can just ignore it by setting $sendmail_wait to be something 
small, like 2 (it'll complete in the background and you won't have to 
be bothered by it).
