Package: emacs
Version: 24.0.93
Severity: minor

If I know what port I want to use, smtpmail-query-smtp-server doesn't
provide any way for me to enter that information. I wanted to specify
587, but I ended up with a custom-set-variables section containing:

'(smtpmail-smtp-service "smtp"))

It gets stranger...

I have another system where I think am I supposed to use port 465.
Maybe that's nonsense, I don't know, but I tried:

rm ~/.emacs
emacs -eval '(setq smtpmail-smtp-service 465)'

After going through all the prompting, I ended up with a .emacs
containing:

'(smtpmail-smtp-service 587)

and a ~/.authinfo with a "port 587" entry. Ie, my initial setting for
smtpmail-smtp-service was overwritten.

Maybe smtpmail-query-smtp-server should use something like
(list smtpmail-smtp-service 587) for ports rather than '("smtp" 587).

The lines below have a typo -- they push the server name and not the
service onto the list.  I've now checked in a fix.

Perhaps it should query the user for a port number if the defaults don't
work?  I'll add that to the function.
