Ok, I added the following to /etc/Muttrc

    sendmail   "/usr/sbin/exim4 -bm"

And if this arrives, it solved the problem!

No, it didn't.  There is a message before "Sending message..." saying
"Create Sent Y/n".  Sent does exist on the imap server, but perhaps not
in the right place.  Maybe this is the snag.

I tried commenting out the line in ~/.muttrc
    set record="=Sent",
but mutt still asked "Create Sent?"

I tried altering it to say
   set record="sent-mail"
which is a local maildir, but it still asks about Sent.

Nothing shows in /var/exim4/mainlog, so it isn't getting that far.

Err... what next?
