Aside from the fact that it's a pretty big IF; I'm not aware of too many
mail clients that use pagers.  mutt uses vi, pine uses pico, X based MUAs
certainly don't use most.. perhaps mail(x) or something similar use
it, but that's not all too common.  Certainly not enough, IMO, to classify
this as a remote exploit.
