Compose mail also relies on whatever is assigned to mail-user-agent. Do
this...
(setq mail-user-agent 'sendmail-user-agent)
And see if that works. It works for me, but if I have gnus-user-agent
in there, it doesn't.

This should do the job, in theory, but it looks like it's up to the
actual user agent to pay attention to it.

My guess is that you're running Gnus (or at least, some other package
that doesn't pay attention to mail-self-blind). Gnus has it's own way
of doing this, which you can find discussed here:
http://sunsite.ualberta.ca/Documentation/Gnu/emacs-20.7/html_chapter/gnus_5.html#SEC125
Alternatively, you could just use the sendmail-user-agent and have this
stuff sent back to you. I chose this as the path of least resistance.
At least for now.
Hope this helps.
