The gnome-pilot mail conduit should be doing the same
job as pilot-mailsync.  I guess the use of 'sendmail -t -i' is
a short cut for writing the smtp client code, whereas pilot-mailsync
seems to use a local sendmail or falls back to smtp if absent.

Direct SMTP support could be added to the g-p mail conduit, it's
probably just that the issue hasn't been raised before.

p.s. the other thing that needs to be added is versamail support,
which is a bigger job.  There's now some versamail support in
pl-0.12, I believe.
