Note my point elsemail is essenially that similar can apply to x11 
desktop envs - i.e. the choice is between

(i) the desktop preferred mail client (implementable via the xdg-email 
command line command that exists to indirect to the user's preferred MUA 
i.e. thunderbird, kmail, etc), quite likely to be configured to send 
somewhere sensible (this is highly similar to the point Eli just made 
about how "At least on Windows, the system mailer (Outlook or whatever) 
is normally already configured,")

(ii) the local system's mail daemon (via the standard 
sendmail-compatible command line interface, as provided by exim, 
postfix, true sendmail, etc.), unfortunately nowadays often set up for 
local-only delivery if that.

(iii) builtin smtp.
