I have tested the following code on the ZDP site, and it works:

<dtml-call "REQUEST.set('mail_to','roeder@berg.net')">
<dtml-sendmail mailhost="MailHost">
To: <<dtml-var mail_to>>
From: The CommentClass constructor <zdp@zope.org>

Have a nice day,

</dtml-sendmail>

Zope version: Zope 2.1.3 (source release, python 1.5.2, linux2) 
Python version: 1.5.2 (#1, Sep 17 1999, 20:15:36) [GCC egcs-2.91.66 19990314/Linux (egcs- 
System Platform: linux-i386 
Process ID: 1478 (1024) 
Running for: 34 days 4 hours 6 min 32 sec 

Maybe you can test the above code and see if it works. It may be possible to track 
down the bug by comparing the code from 2.1.3 with the code from your Zope version.
