I guess I should have pointed out that I'm sending mail on localhost, so
there's no auth involved. I'm using mutt because mailx doesn't appear to
have the ability to attach files.
I solved the problem by using a one word subject. It's weird that Mutt is
somehow parsing the words in the subject and using them as recipients.
