I'm not sure what ``most MUAs'' represents, but perhaps this refers to Outlook and Thunderbird (and other ``popular'' UI oriented MUAs)? If so, don't most of these MUAs have an ``outbox'' which is actually just a local mail queue built into the MUA which retries delivery to the configured SMTP server? Does nmh have a queue? I've long thought that /usr/sbin/sendmail (or /usr/lib/sendmail on some systems) was widely used by most CLI oriented MUAs (mutt, mailx, etc...) precisely because they didn't have their own queue. I could be wrong. :-) If the goal is to make nmh behave more like popular MUAs, and work independently of a properly configured MTA then, shouldn't nmh also have a queue?
