I had that problem also and I entered this in my .muttrc in the sendmail section:
### sendmail ### Type: string ### Default: /usr/lib/sendmail -oi -oem ### Specifies the program and arguments used to deliver mail sent by Mutt. ### Mutt expects that the specified program will read the message header for ### recipients. set sendmail="/usr/lib/sendmail -oi -oem" Funny that I had to enter it but it works... On my potato system, with exim 3.02-1 and mutt 0.95.6-2 (which comes with potato), /usr/lib/sendmail is a symlink to /usr/sbin/exim.
