Only use all of those flags if you want the From: and Reply-To:
headers modified as well. If all you want is the envelope sender to
be changed use just the 'F' flag. (see section 34.6 of spec.txt)

mutt passes the flag to exim, but exim ignores it because you are not
a "trusted_user". See the exim manual for details on that.
