1) Install starttls and set the location in starttls-program

2) Set starttls-use-gnutls to nil (should be automatic after (1))

OK, I don't know GnuTLS so I can't help you with that.

if (executable-find starttls-program) returns nil AFTER you've done
(1) above, the installation didn't work or you've set the
starttls-program variable to the wrong thing.  A common problem on
Windows is that the '\' character in paths needs to be escaped, but
you can usually use '/' instead.

good luck
