Great.  That works.  Now, I have some other functions which also use
mail-mode-map.  Can I wrap them in the same '(add-hook ...?  Or do I
need to duplicate the lines for each? ... like this?

(eval-after-load "sendmail"
  '(add-hook 'mail-setup-hook
	     '(define-key mail-mode-map mail-foo...

(eval-after-load "sendmail"
  '(add-hook 'mail-setup-hook
             '(define-key mail-mode-map mail-bar...
  
(eval-after-load "sendmail"
  '(add-hook 'mail-setup-hook
             '(define-key mail-mode-map foo-be-do-be-do...
  

Even tidier and more readable, can I put all the sendmail-dependent
defines in a separate (possibly byte-compiled) file and then have
something like an "include"  in my emacs evaluate them all subject to an
(eval-after-load "sendmail" ...)?
