   It wasn't clear to me why you couldn't just use smtpmail.el on
   emacs, in order to get it to talk SMTP.  What was the problem with
   that approach?

The problem was that I was too spoiled by years of Unix experience
(where s(end)?mail was always available) to know how to plug in
smtpmail.  In fact it was trivial, basically just

(setq send-mail-function 'smtpmail-send-it)

But it took your post to make me look at the Lisp code and do it, for
which many thanks :-)
