Or rather, is often (most of the time?) run as root.
Anyway, clearly this wouldn't be used for evil, but still I don't like
the idea of Emacs "reporting home"
when installed by sending mail. I like to think that programs I use
don't communicate over the net behind
my back, but only when I ask them to.
But install options that makes it possible for a root that installs
Emacs on a multi-user system to state
how mail is used there sounds like a good idea. No need for testing
then -- I think that roots that explicitly
choose to use these options should know what mail option is the
correct one for their system.
I guess then Emacs packages for most GNU distributions would use these
options, and then I guess
most Emacs users would use Emacses configured in such a way.
