[bug-mailutils] Getting `mail' to use the right mailer

[Ludovic Courtès]

Hi,

I’m trying to configure ‘mail’ to use the right mailer.  The “Mailer
Statement” node in the manual appeared to be what I’m looking for, so
I dropped this in ~/.mail:

  mailer {
    url sendmail:///var/run/current-system/sw/sbin/sendmail;
  }

However, this doesn’t have any effect–i.e., it keeps trying to use
/usr/sbin/sendmail.

What am I missing?

Thanks,
Ludo’.
