After writing a short shell script wrapper to msmtp, I found that
message-sendmail-extra-arguments variable was wrong (msmtp complained of
a non-existent " gmail" account), so this variable must be set to:

(setq message-sendmail-extra-arguments '("-a" "gmail"))


Not sure why it worked with 5.10.6, but now it works with both.
