These are the only changes that make me slightly uncomfortable. mutt is
still useful without an MTA, and it would suck a bit to not have an LSB
compliant system by default. Perhaps these could be resolved by using
Scott's dummy sendmail? I would feel more comfortable with clear failure
accompanied by a "you really need to install a real MTA" message than to
make all of this Not Work (tm) by default [1]. :-)

cases, but Just Works has lots of audiences and use cases to consider. :-)
