That's the idea, but I haven't tested it with anything but Mutt and TMDA.
The code that looks at sendmail's arguments to try to understand the
envelope recipient(s) may have some problems.

Yes, if it gets a signal it can catch, it restores the queue to a good
state before it croaks. Somewhere on my to-do list is to set it up so that
I can run it from cron periodically. I want it to realize when it's
already running and exit. That way I can run it from cron and not have to
remember to restart it when the machine reboots.

It's here:

There's just the code there, but it has some comments that I've tossed in
at the last minute. Feedback welcome.
