No, that is not what I meant. I do not run an MUA on my desktop machine
at home or on my laptop. I ssh to a different host and run my MUA there.

What I meant was that in my desktop and laptop environments the local
processes don't seem to want to send me email, or if they do, it's
vanished and I haven't missed it. Of course, this may be a
characteristic of the particular way I have set up the machines. I agree
that *in principle* processes may want to send email.
