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.
