Looks like, for whatever reason, your mutt isn't reading that part of
your muttrc that sets the $sendmail variable. The default value for
$sendmail is "/usr/sbin/sendmail -oem -oi", so that's the -o argument
I'm guessing is getting complained about (especially if nbsmtp is
linked to /usr/sbin/sendmail). I don't know why it would not read your
muttrc... perhaps try running it as `mutt -d2 -p`, and then check out
the ~/.muttdebug0 file---maybe there's something in there to help
explain what's going on.
Good luck,
