That's true, I wasn't able to find any mention of sendmail in the source
either.  But if I don't set MAILER, it seems to find that anyway.  I've
checked my backup user's environment, and it doesn't set MAILER either.
Perhaps I have a link somewhere to sendmail that shouldn't be there.

I suppose I'll just go ahead and keep setting MAILER=/usr/bin/Mail.  One
more small dependency is not too bad, I guess.

Thanks for spending the time to help with such a minor problem.
