Please add to NEWS a detailed description of how to move the old
smtpmail setup to the brave new world. Please don't just tell "follow
the prompts", but describe what I need to do to have my current setup
immediately operational after this change. I don't like being led by
Customize, I like to have full control of what's written to my
dot-files, so I want to do this manually. I'm quite sure I'm not the
only one with that attitude.
The current text in NEWS tells only part of the story; Óscar's ordeal
clearly indicates that it's incomplete and not detailed enough.
Please make it more detailed and complete.
Using email is a very fundamental part of using the Internet. Having
an upgrade disable this ability is annoying to say the least. Let's
not risk that.
I think my setup is very similar of Óscar's, btw. I have the
following variables defined:
smtpmail-smtp-server
smtpmail-smtp-service
smtpmail-auth-credentials
The latter defines my username and password for logging into my ISP's
SMTP server. I don't currently use STATTLS.
TIA
