We've got plenty of other mail user agents nowadays which I believe can
do enough of this. postilion's been formally orphaned for nearly a year
with no interest in adopting it, and it hasn't had a maintainer upload
since August 1999. It's also one of the few packages still depending on
tcl8.0 and tk8.0. Please remove it.
