Linux is about choices, not limitation or forcing everybody to use the 
same features.
I see nothing wrong with smpt (if it works correctly), if it was added 
to distribution it means there was a need for it.
If one doesn't like the "smpt" all it needs to be done is to compile 
mutt without smpt flag support; problem solved (on Gentoo that flag is 
excluded by default).
