Description Lemon Lime 2024-03-20 21:52:34 UTC

According to the emacs documentation (https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Movemail.html) 

>  However, the Mailutils version offers additional features and is more secure

Maybe it would be a nice enhancement to warn users that plan to use Emacs as a email client of the drawbacks of not having the mailutils flag enabled.

Maybe adding information to the doc contents or doing an ewarn to the ebuild when the mailutils flag is not enabled
