MUA's become file readers and composers. They hand off to a localhost daemon that recognizes different address formats of the network[s] and does the right thing. Perhaps they compile against additional necessary network/crypto libs. Whatever it is, those are not a big change. Ditching centralized SMTP transport in the clear is... and for the better.
