I put a bug in the Collector on this back in January:

  http://classic.zope.org:8080/Collector/995/view

The problem is that the sendmail tag pushes itself onto the top of the namespace
stack, and so values like 'id' and 'title' are handled in its acquisition
context, rather than your document.

A workaround is to alias the values you need before starting the sendmail tag::

 <dtml-in "objectValues(['DTML Document'])"
 <dtml-let docTitle=title>
 <dtml-sendmail smtphost="imeme.net">
 To: &dtml-docTitle; <<dtml-var email>@imeme.net>
 From: imeme <admin@imeme.net>
 Subject: imeme
 
 <dtml-var body>
 </dtml-sendmail>
 </dtml-let>
 </dtml-in>
