What happens if sending fails (for whatever temporary reason)?  Will 
esmtp queue the mail, like a real MTA would?  The issue is problematic 
with all those "minimalistic" pseudo-MTAs because mutt thinks it's 
delivering to a real sendmail, and hence doesn't handle failure 
gracefully (at least not afair).  Mozilla otoh, initiating the smtp 
connection by itself, will let you retry, or save it to a Drafts folder. 
  With mutt, your mail is probably gone.
