AFAIU looks mmm. readable ;)

as this is (looks like) shell invocation, this could be in format

let out = system('notmuch insert --create-folder --folder=Sent +sent -unread -inbox < ' . fname)

or even 

let out = system('exec notmuch insert --create-folder --folder=Sent +sent -unread -inbox < ' . fname)

(well, the latter would be out of the status quo)

Ok, I looked a bit into the notmuch.vim -code, and noticed sometimes
system() command lines use "notmuch" and sometimes g:notmuch_cmd 
-- I think the latter should be used in new code and the previous ones
should be fixed.

i.e. system ( g:notmuch_cmd . ' insert ... ' < . fname)

Totally untested from my part...

When the change alike this lands to the notmuch repository this needs NEWS
item which informs that from now sent mails are notmuch-inserted to
user's mail store (as this seems to be the default...) -- well, let's see
that when there are real reviewers (i.e. those who are interested to and can
test this).
