I am using Mutt, and am having a problem sending e-mail (Mutt is using
Sendmail). Sending ("y") appears to work, However, it does not.

The following is what I get:

Warning: could not send message for past 4 hours

The message text is the following (please excuse my including virtually
the complete message...I do not know what is of value, and not).

I have no problems sending the same message from within my browswer,
Mozilla. Entering ":set ?sendmail" within Mutt yields
'sendmail="/usr/sbin/sendmail -oem -oi". According to Mutt
documentation, the path part is correct. I am wondering if there may
not be a problem with the flags. The man page for sendmail is not
really helping me in terms of figuring if the flags are correct or not.
