Well, if the various MUAs shipped in Fedora didn't periodically suffer
from bugs, I wouldn't need to switch regularly (actually since I installed
squirrelmail I don't need switching anymore. It just works, and does not
think duplicating every mail in a private store to simulate pop3 behaviour
is a requisite. So I just point it to the system maildir)

I didn't write anything else. What I did write is that, at this point in
time, it's probably easier to add the 'send as different used depending on
the system user' to the central MTA (and make smtp an actual system
service) than to try to fix all the MUAs Fedora ships.
