Subject: Returned mail: Undisclosed recipients: ;... list:; syntax illegal for recipient addresses

I've just compiled pine-3.93 on a Linux system.
(Sendmail version is 8.7.5)

For reasons unknown Pine insists on adding "Undisclosed recipients" even
if a valid To: or cc: are given. 
This results in a bounce/unrecoverable error using "sendmail -t -oem -oi",
and "nrcpts=0" with "sendmail -bs -odb -oem".
However, there is not a problem using "smtp-server=localhost".   

The following was generated from a message sent ...

To: [email-masked]
Cc: [email-masked]

.... using MTA "sendmail -t -oem -oi".
