Not even the email client is that restricted.  It is commonly used to send tarballs, Linux patches, all sorts of things which are not "reading email".  Email itself is not that restricted; I have used email for all sorts of remote control, like turning thermostats up or down, turning on lights, etc.  SMTP is a tool, a nice general purpose tool, not some holy grail of RFCs never to be used for other purposes, and mutt is one of the many implementations.
