Changing the default doesn't break Mail mode at all!
What it does is require one who wants to use Mail mode in the
customary way to put his cursor at the end of the following sexp and
type C-x C-e:
(progn
(find-file user-init-file)
(save-excursion
(goto-char (point-min))
(insert "(setq mail-user-agent 'sendmail-user-agent)\n"))
(save-buffer)
(setq mail-user-agent 'sendmail-user-agent)
(message "init file edited; please review for style and/or VC commit."))
(Note! GPL-licensed code, with emphasis on the NO WARRANTEE clause.)
On the other hand, unless and until sendmail.el morphs into a
RFC-conformant MUA, it is very desirable that it not be default.
