As of 1.5.15 the world turned inside out and upside down and mutt grew support for SMTP: http://dev.mutt.org/trac/browser/ChangeLog#L1183 (The temperature in Hades may have even dropped by a few degrees, but that's not confirmed. :) > You really do want something local to store messages in case there > is a temporary problem in sending the mail out.

Are there a lot of mutt users who aren't capable of doing the needed configuration to match their setup? It seems like one package that could survive without a "hold the users hand" approach to the possible things it might depend on. ;-) As of cvs rev 1.47, mutt.spec no longer requires sendmail.
