There's almost no new car companies supporting seat belts too. It's hard to
get new ones when it's near 100% support. (Who *doesn't* support SMTP AUTH?
Are there any major or even minor players that don't? Heck, even the now-venerable
'nmh' descendant of MH will do SASL auth for you....)
But as long as we're playing: Evolution and Mozilla's mail client are both
fairly newcomers, and both do SMTP AUTH....
