I think you're right, up to a point.  Many mail clients require Sendmail
or some other mail transfer agent to be installed on the local system. 
Mail is sent by running the MTA and dumping the mail message to that
process's standard input.  Netscape is usually set up to connect to an
SMTP gateway, rather than using the local mail transfer agent.

It only requires a fairly small amount of extra code to do both (I
suspect), so some mailers can go either way.
