Linux is about choices, not limitation or forcing everybody to use the same features. I see nothing wrong with smpt (if it works correctly), if it was added to distribution it means there was a need for it. If one doesn't like the "smpt" all it needs to be done is to compile mutt without smpt flag support; problem solved (on Gentoo that flag is excluded by default). -- #Joseph GPG KeyID: ED0E1FB7
