Why not just telnet port 25 and type raw SMTP?
You can use mail, no question. Mutt adds a lot, is stable and
predictable. You can call for help when X is broken.
With mail and ed, you can call for help when termcap/terminfo/ncurses is
broken (when last did that happen?).
I don't think that mail has the list support and threading display that
mutt does, but I don't know.
