Quoting from Rob Funk's mail on Wed, Jan 08, 2003 at 02:38:04AM -0500:
How about splitting (shell-like parsing) the mda line into its
component arguments, then execing the mda directly instead of through
the shell?

Not sure if this is practical. This will involve a lot of recoding.

Also, I think, it is now assumed that the mda runs using a shell. In
fact, FAQs S7 and X4 mention mdas with pipes and redirections.
Changing this notion may not be a good idea.
