You're going about it the wrong way. Well, an argument could be
made that there's a reason to want to do things the way you're
suggesting, but mostly, you're better off to do it the "unix"
way, because that gives you the most options:
Use fetchmail to grab your mail from multiple accounts, and
stuff them into your local spool. That could be sendmail, but I
use qmail. That way you can use procmail or whatever else you
like to filter your incoming mail into multiple mailboxes, to
keep the steady stream of mailing list messages coherent.
Use whatever client you like, to fetch from your local spool.
I'd _really_ like to use a GUI client sometimes, just for a
nicer interface to attached pictures and files, and maybe, just
maybe, nice PGP integration. All that _and_ let me use vi to
compose the text of my message (if that's what I feel like).
However, such a beast doesn't exist. So I use Mutt. It's
character-cell, but it isn't broken.
Your mail client dumps outgoing mail back into your local spool,
which figures out what to do with it. Normally that's just to
hand it off to your up-stream ISP, but it's not hard to add
rules and patterns to do different things with different
messages.
