After further investigation, the example usage does not conform to the latest (apparently newly changed) syntax. That is, a "--" is now needed before addresses. So the correct command would be:
mutt -a $HOME/.bashrc -s "trying to send a file" -- mym...@email.com <<< "simply sending a file" and then it works. However, this is still a bug, because the error report is inaccurate and misleading. Mutt reports "No recipients specified," when in fact there are recipients. Mutt should give accurate feedback, and say that the "--" is missing. This is a minor issue, so the priority should probably be downgraded. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
