Re: How can I know if error happens when sending mail?

Is there anything for console-only systems? Mutt is a great piece of software, 
but - in my eyes - is lacking this important feature. Would it be possible to 
take the return-code/-message of the *smtp program and display that on the 
status-line (or the message(?)-line)? What about creating a mail-reply to that 
message on its own with the sending-error as body and mark that as new mail?

Please wrap your lines.

Oh, I am sorry, I forgot to change it back after sending some
config-files some time ago. Mutt was still wrapping it for me, so I
didn't think about it :( My bad.

The manual says about sendmail_wait:
  Note that if you specify a value other than 0, the output of the child
  process will be put in a temporary file. If there is some error, you
  will be informed as to where to find the output.

That is strange because I have it set to -1 and do not see any message
as to where the output is. Might it be that this messages is only shown
for a short time or that it will be "clicked" away while I continue using
mutt? I will try changing it to a positive value, waiting one second is
still acceptable compared to the time a 3MB email takes.
