Now, wait a minute...
If your $sendmail is failing often enough that you've got a large
number of doubles, then THAT'S the problem to be fixed.
If you're getting bounce messages from a SMTP server somewhere along
the line, that happens long AFTER the message is sent from mutt, so
mutt can't really know anything about it anyway, unless you want to
write code to parse all the various formats of bounce messages (which
you don't).
