How many MUAs do not use -i or -oi?
* mailx uses -i.
* mutt uses -oem -oi
* pine does not use the sendmail interface, it tries to speak SMTP
over the pipe (-bs -odb -oem) which works fine with exim. (Speaks
SMTP too.)
* kmail uses -i (Speaks SMTP too.)
Mozilla only speaks SMTP. I think sylpheed and evolution both use
SMTP. Afaict from peeking into the respective .elcs the (X)Emacs
readers (Gnus/VM) also use -oi.
Any major players missing?
