Yes.  However, watching tail -f /var/log/mail.log I don't see any
postfix entries until at the very last moment before mutt returns.
So, it feels to me as though something is preventing mutt from
sending.  My DNS resolver works fine.  So, I don't think that's it.
The sendmail/postfix daemon is running so it's not waiting to launch
that.  I.e.,

root      433   0.0  0.0    27476    200  ??  Ss    2:49PM   0:00.62 
/usr/libexec/postfix/master
postfix   493   0.0  0.0    27556    380  ??  S     2:52PM   0:00.33 qmgr -l -t 
fifo -u
postfix  6857   0.0  0.1    27524    716  ??  S    12:51PM   0:00.03

I tried this first.  I've used -10, 0, 2 but no change on the sending
delay.

Um, I don't see a mention of a temporary file in
http://www.mutt.org/doc/manual/manual-6.html#sendmail.  What am I
missing?
