Damned if you do, damned it you don't, right Martin? :)

mutt doesn't provide /usr/bin/mail, so it's irrelevant. But yeah,
heirloom-mailx is a bother. (You would've thought that all mailxes
would have the same command-line interface, no?)

Note to self: echo -e is a bashism, so you might want to use /bin/echo
instead.
Another option would be to strictly depend on, say, bsd-mailx. It's a
crappy solution, but it is an easy one.
