How is mutt configured to send mail? What's the value of $sendmail 
and/or $smtp_url?

To quote the man page:

     -a file [...]
            Attach a file to your message using MIME. To attach
            multiple files, separating filenames and recipient
            addresses with "--" is mandatory,
            e.g. mutt -a img.jpg *.png -- addr1 addr2

Use the file as input, like so:

     mutt recipient@xxxxxxxxxxx < message.txt

That's in the mutt man page too.

> 4. What does mutt command returns.?

You could find that out by just trying a test message...

Well, mutt won't move them, but you can do it all by yourself:

     mutt -s subject -a file1 file2 < body.txt && \
     mv file1 file2 folder/

Is there some reason you don't want to do that?

A lot of this you can find out by just thumbing through the 
documentation.
