mutt uses sendmail (i.e. pipes the mail to something like 'sendmail -t -f ....)
which queues the mail for further delivery; and this is what I want:
queue all the answered mails until I open the Wifi uplink and all
answers are going out at once. I think, this is only possible with a
configured sendmail daemon and queue runner.

La referencia de la Duma a la anexión de la RDA, en este caso al contrario con la Crimlía sin
referéndum, no solamente tiene gracia sino da en el blanco.-
