But the sendmail command line interface (the interface, not the awful historic sw) has nothing serious wrong with it.
-
It does, it's intended as a system level interface rather than being desktop oriented.
-
I don't follow/don't understand how there's anything "system level" about the interface.
-
It's clunky to implement locally. Not saying it's impossible, just clunky.
-
I view it like autoconf - awful implementation(s) but the externally facing interface is fine except possibly minor cosmetic issues.
-
FWIW the reason I found git send-email awful was completely different: no way to stage, check/edit, and save a copy before sending.
-
Also the box I was working on had no email-sending access. Needed to be able to xfer to somewhere privileged to send.
