Netscape tries to do everything itself, because they probably got tired
of people asking them how to set up their MTA's on their workstations...
Mutt, on the other hand, embraces the "Unix philosophy" of having a tool
that does one job very well, and making use of the other tools on your
system to do other jobs very well. Mutt does do its job of reading mail
very well, but there is probably a fine program such as sendmail,
already installed on your system, and ready to do its fine job of
sending mail, if only you would take a moment to configure it.
Getting your machine's local MTA to work correctly will also probably
help you in other ways that you probably can't think of right now. :)
