Bug Description
When installing mutt in Jaunty (and also mutt-patched for that matter), it reports that the following extra packages will be installed:
bsd-mailx exim4 exim4-base exim4-config exim4-daemon-light mailx
I don't believe this is correct. It should install a mail program but it doesn't have to be exim. For example, I try and keep my mail needs to a minimum and so I simply use msmtp.
I think the mailer used on the system should be determined via the alternatives system. In which case this bug maybe in fact that exim and/or msmtp do not hook into that correctly, if at all.
Mutt version: 1.5.18-6ubuntu1
Ubuntu version: 9.04
