Good gods!  I don't think anybody at Ubuntu pays attention to me (at least
no more than anybody else who files bugs)!  And besides which, if you'd read

it.  Require AN MTA not a specific MTA.

I'm certain that the first is not true, and from Danielle's messages I doubt
the second.  I still think removing mailx was a mistake, but apparently it
wasn't an accident.
