On my machine that uses exim (used to send this mail), exim does not
add a "Sender:" line. The exim4(8) man page says for the -f option:
Processes running as root or the Exim user are always
trusted. Other trusted users are defined by the trusted_users
or trusted_groups options. In the absence of -f, or if the
caller is not trusted, the sender of a local message is set
to the caller's login name at the default qualify domain.
But if you set use_envelope_from in Mutt, the -f option will be
used (see OPTENVFROM in sendlib.c).
