My main objection was the inherent inability to specify a sender address on
the command line.  My clients don't want 'filepro at wherever' to be their
sending address.  This goes back to the same sort of thing that you're
pointing to, Bill...and that's that mutt is pretty tightly bound to a user
account.  You can specify alternate configuration files, or use hooks, or
get around some of this stuff in a bunch of ways...

But I found it cleaner to just build an MSA that relies on -zero-
configuration files, and doesn't care as what user it runs.  :)
