more on starttls, gnutls-cli and using tls for mail

["T. V. Raman" <tv.raman.tv@gmail.com>]

Savannah git has gotten a few more updates, and I've gotten close
to getting smtpmail working without hacks. The remaining problem:
(and this bites if you are using starttls and not gnutls-cli)

In function 
(defun network-stream-open-starttls (name buffer host service
parameters)
the following let binding forces gnutls-cli -- even though
starttls-use-gnutls has been set to nil earlier because
gnutls-cli ws not found on the system.
(let* ((starttls-use-gnutls t)

Also, if you ask smtpmail to save the security settings, it
creates a world-readable .authinfo with the password stored in
the clear --- looks like a bad idea on all counts.
