This is the wrong tool.  You need to use something that is
designed for this, e.g., sendmail, qmail-inject, etc.  Read the
man pages for whatever you are using on your system.

MUA's (such as mutt) are best used for interactive work; even
though they can be coerced into doing what you want, it's the
wrong way to do it.

Cheers, Greg
