Only because that environment variable is not set.

Try:

echo $EDITOR 

(that's set in the stock BL3)

To set $SENDMAIL, or any other environment variable, standards
like SENDMAIL or REPLYTO (read by many mail apps) or your own,
put this in your /etc/profile:

export SENDMAIL="pmail -o"

If you want to make use of it during the present session,
you'll have to enter:

. /etc/profile

Which will cause the shell to reread the file.
