Is this a typo?

It should be "smtpmail-send-it"

(That's SMTPmail-send-it not SMPTmail-send-it)


[Aside: in feedmail.el, the comment it has:

;; feedmail-buffer-to-smptmail

Should be:

;; feedmail-buffer-to-smtpmail

I'll fill out a bug report for this documentation bug (typo)
but somehow I feel kinda silly doing it for something so minor
in the comments...]
