    [ The following text is in the "ISO-8859-1" character set. ]
    [ Your display is set for the "US-ASCII" character set.  ]
    [ Some characters may be displayed incorrectly. ]

I'm not sure the -v will actually help you, but the main things are
1) Put a blank line after the headers, before the body of the message
2) End the message by putting a dot '.' on its own on a line.
3) Make sure you put proper email address in the From and To as you are
using -t so it gets the envelope addresses from the headers.

So your message should look like
To: craigh at ora.com
From: craigh at ora.com
Subject: Sendmail Test

Ignore this test.
.

I think that should work rather better. If it doesn't immediately give
you your shell prompt back after the "." line then press Ctrl-D to end
the message.
