Excuse me for asking this, but why exactly would one want to
use Mush as the mailer for rn? Rn is already building a nice
header for you, giving you complete control over the contents;
Rnmail as a personally customizable script lets you skip silly
questions or other stuff you don't like in the standard distribution;
and even Mush still needs a good underlying MTA to get the work
done. Other than the empty pleasure of seeing the X-Mailer line,
I don't see what mush brings to the party. (And I speak as a
die hard mush user, btw.)
For maximum comfort replying to articles, I simply built and
installed smail 2.5 and changed Rnmail to use it instead of
'recmail'. As far as I can see, even if I stuck Mush up front
I would still have to route to smail from there. Why not
just eliminate the middleman?
