Hi!

I was trying to send a message with send() method but it failed. After
some quick digging I discovered that the problem is that send() calls
sendmail with the parameter "-it" which my mail transporter (Exim 4)
lacks. From its man pages I found out that it has "sendmail"
compatibility parameter "-ti" and if I change it in Maill::Box source
code it works.

So I would recommend that "-it" is changed to "-ti" if this does not
break support for some other mail transporters.

Otherwise Exim sending works if I specify it with "via" parameter but
I would like that my program is as portable as it can be and so I
would like to not specify transporter in code.
