Good.  There's still the question of exactly what sendmail-query-once 
should do.  I think it should query all users who haven't already set up 
smtpmail.  And, when it queries, mailclient should always be one of the 
choices, even if sendmail exists.  After all, there's no reason for 
emacs to assume that a user prefers sendmail to mailclient.  In fact, 
many users might not even be aware that mailclient is an option.
