Actually, you do get to make the choice, because postproc can generate
the bearer token. (sendfrom.c does, by overwriting the -authservice switch.
See its call to mh_oauth_do_xoauth().)
Are you still sure you don't want me to move it to post? :-)
We might want to consider renaming post's (undocumented) -authservice switch.
This is a bit confusing.

Agreed. Also, post currently doesn't parse the draft, and I don't think
we want it to.

It'd be nice.
