Yes, but it would be nice if I didn't have to add any extra stuff,
just use any mutt from anywhere, quickly.

Compiling ssmtp with sasl auth libraries on different
platforms every now and then is a bit messy.

I tend to find myself a netscape messenger instead,
enable SMTP auth and use my SIMAP mailboxes from there.

I'd rather slap my portable .muttrc in place and
use good old mutt.
