Wrestling with mutt

Yup thats me all right, you maybe wondering how did they get
into this mess? Well it all started when I tried to send mail with
mutt on the sdf-1.......
the first thing that happened was that in mutt when you reply to mail
it takes you to a dedicated editor, in this case its pico. However
when I tried to save my message it doesn't work, typing in any name
results in:
>i/o error tmp/mutt-sdf-bunchofnumbers/name-you-typed
not typing any name just gets canceled. There was a post on bboard
of this same issue but no solution was found, I think the user
verified and used something else. now I could do that but I wasnt
done yet.
I did some reading and you can compose email from the command line
so I tried
>mutt -s "re:subject" -i email.txt
[email protected]
it gave me
>unknown mail flag.
I tried
>mutt -s "re:subject"
[email protected] < email.txt
>unknown mail flag.
>mutt -f ~/sent
>unknown mail flag.
I then realized command line arguments don't work here because
pico -h
or
pico -version
just opens pico. So yeah for what its worth this is the first bug
I've found but god is it frustrating.
