Comment (by code@…):
It's actually nearly inconceivable that a host which is so badly broken
that its hostname does not properly forward and reverse resolve will work
at all. Most modern desktop environments will fail to start if that is
the case, since they use the hostname and hostname resolution for all
sorts of things, including binding sockets, and (annoyingly) determining
what configuration to parse. Thus on a modern system where the user is
using X, this should always work, or fail long before the user ever gets
to run Mutt.
