Agreed.  So we need some way for sendmail-query-once to figure out that
it's called from Gnus/MH-E/Rmail/younameit rather than independently and
take out the `mailclient-send-it' option in that case.

Note that `mailclient-send-it' should be an option if the user simply
did M-x mail (i.e. he's not using a MUA but not report-emacs-bug
either).
