Some key differences: • if your SMTP host cannot be resolved at user-hits-send-time, mutt reports "can't resolve …" and rejects you back to the send screen. One must manually exit and save to postponed mail folder (no Outbox or automatic retries). • mutt/gnutls may complain about your SMTP server's SSL certificate in some circumstances where most other mailers are OK (it doesn't like smtpauth.ncl.ac.uk for some reason, perhaps chained certs, perhaps I should go and frob some gnutls stuff somewhere and it's my fault) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
