I'm not expert enough in Emacs's smtp authn system to fully understand
this proposal -- I don't know exactly what "auth-source" means here. It
sounds like you mean something very specific by it? (If the variable is
`smtpmail-user', then what variable(s) hold server/port/password
information?)
Overall, I'm just saying:
There should be a purely in-elisp way to pass smtp authentication data
when sending email. There should be no need to create or modify a file
on disk containing authentication data (although such a file could
certainly be an option, since it might be easier for some users).
We used to have an entirely in-elisp way, but then it got removed. If
the same way came back, that would be fine; if a different way were
implemented, that would also be fine. As long as the NEWS file
describes the situation accurately, people will eventually recover.
I have a mild preference for the old way (`smtpmail-auth-credentials')
just because it's familiar, but the emphasis is on "mild".
