>Description:
When defining WITHOUT_MAIL in /etc/src.conf FreeBSD's build system excludes src/usr.bin/fmt from being built. However, the FreeBSD ports system relies on /usr/bin/fmt for formatting certain messages, eg. licenses.
If the ports system continues to depend on /usr/bin/fmt then WITHOUT_MAIL should not prevent it from being built.
