I think the ~/.authinfo file can be consulted for possible defaults to
use, but the file may have several SMTP entries, so it kinda seems...
slightly sloppy.

And even if there is only one entry there, the user may want to use a
different host anyway, so I'm not sure it really helps.

Not to mention in a multi-SMTP-server setting, where you're sending out
via different SMTP servers depending on what your From address is.

Anyway, I think that can be hashed out after implementing it.  My
problem is that I'm away both this weekend and the next weekend, and
since there should be no new features after July 1st, time is getting
rather short.

I'll do my best to implement the new smtpmail.el stuff on Wednesday,
which looks like it's going to be free.  Is there any possibility of
getting the gpg: tokens done before that?  :-)
