With mutt bl3 I can send mail (while online - if I am offline it says it 
is sending but I don't know where it went, and I have not figured out 
where postponed messages go either).

I do the same in Bl2 mutt and am told Error sending message, child exited 
127.  (Exec. error).

What might I be doing wrong?

Also my /tmp directory is getting full of 0 length messages in both BLs, 
mutt-Basiclinux- followed by somewhat random numbers. 
The outgoing mail seems to be going to /root/Mail/_outbox so what is in 
tmp?

Do I have things set up wrong, or are other people having this problem 
too?

I have a /usr/local/bin/sendmail in both BLs which sends things from 
/root/Mail/_outbox with pmail -o.  (I added the -o option to send 
immediately, I think).

I put a # in front of the line 'unset help' in .muttrc so I would get the 
help menu at the screen top.

.mailcap is using 8859-2 (E. European charset) as default.  Probably the 
majority of BL users don't use that.
