Hello-hello

I'm trying to use STARTTLS for sending eMail.

starttls.el looks for "starttls" but cannot find it
(because it is not installed), but it does not use
gnutls-cli (which is installed).

(setq smtpmail-default-smtp-server "smtp.$NAME.de")
(setq smtpmail-smtp-server "smtp.$NAME.de")
(setq smtpmail-smtp-service 587)
(setq smtpmail-auth-credentials  '(("smtp.$NAME.de" 587 "user" "password")))
(setq smtpmail-starttls-credentials '(("smtp.$NAME.de" 587 nil nil)))

(which, according to the documentation, should work...)

And it works with port 25, so servername, user & password are correct.
