Maybe someone is gobbling up the -- or something like that. In some situations, the shell quotes together the subshell output, so passing it through a variable or function call may be needed to break it up. You can put a "truss/strace/tusc -fae -o /tmp/mutt.$$.tr" prefix on mutt in the shell script and see in detail what the actual call is like. Putting the attachment list last is a nice workaround, though.
