You can call submit directly if you use the appropriate flags.
From the man page: submit -mlrxto,cc*

But, it looks like mutt doesn't like submit's idea of how to use the exit
status. The above will work, but mutt will think it has failed because submit
returns a nonzero exit status.

mush had specific knowledge of how to use submit (it used it in its
'protocol mode').
