Sorry, but _IMHO_ a person not willing to install / use a MTA separat
from Mutt will not use mutt either. He want to use some software with
a polished GUI with some buttons to click and press and all that suff ...
Installing a very tiny one should be no problem.
BTW
Many Linux distributions (yes, mutt is used on many other OS, too,
_no_ OS-war) provide a preconfigured MTA. The user has just to
configure it. Using all those graphical frontends that should be no
problem. Therefore I do not see the direct profit for integrating SMTP
into mutt.
Developers, please keep all that SMTP-stuff out of mutt.
As already posted the suggestion to add a small MTA as a separate
program with separate options and separate configuration should be an option.
Just my 2 cents,
Frank
