msmtp

Goal: use mx-mail in emacs to send email, by the gmail
smtp server, and use 'm' command in gnus to send email.

Here the the configuration files.

I started with msmtp. Only when I could by the command line
send an email with msmtp did I begin to work with emacs. 

To keep things simple in emacs, I moved the existing .emacs
init file aside, and began with an empty .emacs file.
