Bug Description

Binary package hint: postfix

An MTA and a MUA are completely different things, there's no rationale to recommend mail-reader to be installed. Or at least I can't think of one. None of my MTAs have anything to do with local mail delivery, and I don't understand why the should be.

Especially if one wants to streamline software maintenance on multiple servers and goes with the default recommends, this adds 54 megabytes (incl. emacs), which on my servers is around 20% of disk space.

Relatively, that's a LOT!
