Subject: Re: [exim] /path/to/exim -oem -oi seems to be shot
All I can say is that the default mutt sendmail command for calling
exim is this:

set sendmail='/bin/bash -c bash /usr/sbin/sendmail -oem -oi -t'

A Linux Gazette article had this but it looks weird to me:

set sendmail='/bin/bash -c $1$IFS$2$IFS$3$IFS$4 bash
/usr/sbin/sendmail -oem -oi -t'

If it's not working for you the way you have it, then remove that -X
part and just try the default. You made the command complicated by
escaping the double quotes around the filename, when you could have
just used the single quote that would not require escaping, or no
quotes at all since there are no spaces.

The total budget at all receivers for solving senders' problems is $0.
If you want them to accept your mail and manage it the way you want,
send it the way the spec says to. --John Levine
