no fcc with command-line sending



All,

I searched the list archives and didn't find anything on this, so here goes.  I 
sometimes want to send messages (with attachments) from the CLI.  One way I do 
this is with:

mutt -a ~/myattach.jpg -s "look at this pic" someaddress@xxxxxxxx < 
messagebody.txt

And it works, fine and dandy, *except* that Mutt will neither FCC this to my 
sent messages folder as defined with set_record, *nor* the send-hook'ed folder 
to which all the mail I send to someaddress@xxxxxxxx is set to go.  There is 
absolutely no record in any of my folders that I sent this message.  And yet, 
it is being sent, since I did a test and CC'd one to myself. (Plus the 
recipient told me he got it).  What's going on here?  Is Mutt incapable of 
FCC'ing or following send-hooks when invoked from the command line in this way? 
 Is there some setting that should go in my .muttrc?

I have no doubt that I *could* just BCC it to myself and then file it wherever 
I want, but I shouldn't have to, and it's a pain, and I'll invariably forget to 
BCC it from the CLI.

One thing I will investigate is whether the same thing happens if I invoke from 
CLI but don't *completely* bypass having to interact with Mutt, i.e., with:

mutt -a ...same stuff... -i messagebody.txt someaddress@xxxxxxxx

BTW, this is all IMAP using Mutt 1.5.12 on MacOSX.

Many thanks (from someone who thought Pine was the tits until he tried Mutt),
