(setq smtpmail-auth-credentials ; or use ~/.authinfo
'(("~/.netrc")))

Thanks! I can see you've been busy with it!
I haven't used the newsgroups much, but since I use free software so
much, I thought I'd try and save someone else some time, or at least
find out what I did wrong. And I thought that since the code in CVS was
under development, that it would be OK to mention what I discovered.
I'm glad you are taking the time to implement this!
