Thank you, David, for the continued help. You were right to focus on the msmtpq script! And I'm sorry I didn't look there before. There is a simple option to set the script to quiet, which solves the issue.

I'm still struggling with the Content-Transfer-Encoding header and the "charset=utf-8" half of the Content-Type header, both of which I cannot get set in my emails, if anyone has any thoughts!
