The file which I want to send already contains the subject and
recipient.  It is a complete message, ready for transmission to my
E-mail provider's SMTP server.
I cannot just delete the header lines, because the entire file is a MIME
multi-part file (the message has an attachment).
So I want to just have the file delivered to my SMTP server, without any
modifications.
I did not find the way to do it - it's whatever mutt is doing after
having prefixed its stdin's contents with the header (recipient,
subject, date, etc.).

Thanks anyway,
--- Omer
