This seems to have been resolved, but it reminds me of two things: 1) I guess smtpmail.el should use open-protocol-stream to get STARTTLS support for all SMTP server that support it. (SMTP servers do support STARTTLS these days, don't they?) 2) When I installed Ubuntu on this laptop, it had a totally non-working mail setup by default. It wouldn't send out any mail. It would only do local delivery. That's kinda weird. But Message should probably discover this sorry state of affairs and default to using smtpmail.el and prompt for the SMTP address to use, perhaps?
