Thanks for the example(s) Richard and Lars.

It's working great for me now too. Since, I store my emacs configs
through git on multiple machines, it will give me piece of mind now to
not have my smtp passwords in a plain text .msmtprc file anymore.

Plus, it's just cooler to have one less OS dependency when running emacs
where msmtp is not available.

This feature as well as Emacs 24.1 were my two most anticipated FOSS
wish list items for the year.
