That discussion, initiated by MattZimmerman, proposed switching
from Exim to Postfix, standardising on Maildir format in a
non-standard but sensible ~/.maildir directory, and eventually
making all mail apps automagically work together when installed.
All excellent points.

If there's an official explanation for dumping Postfix and Mailx I
haven't found it yet.
