    Personally I think any MTA is too much of an overkill for off-line
reading/replying of email.  Personally I think the MUA should have an option
to defer the mail and then have a command-line option to have it deliver to a
configured SMTP server, supplied by the ISP, who then performs delivery from
there.  But, hey, what do I know.
