Lack of direct-SMTP support in mutt > is a good thing. SSMTP is not acceptable for those of us that use SMTP AUTH+TLS, unless it supports those (it didn't, last time I looked). In fact, there don't appear to be any "dumb" MTAs (like ssmtp or nullmailer) that support TLS and SMTP authentication. This is why I can't use Mutt anymore. -- Joe Wreschnig <piman@debian.org>
