The best solution should be a standardized open-source library called
libsmtp.so that any application could use.  Then force all MTAs to use
the library.  And finally force all MUAs to build a libsmtp.so with an
absolutely consistent set of interfaces for it.

But this probably won't happen, because consistency is pretty low on the
list as far as any flavor of Unix is concerned.  So I'm all for keeping
Mutt as simple and uncluttered as possible, so no SMTP client code.
