I need to apologize once more. Somehow my different attempts to send
emails got screwed up once more. The bottom line is:

Now I can send emails with the latest emacs snapshot I downloaded
yesterday. For this I only use the customization

      (setq gnutls-algorithm-priority "normal:-dhe-rsa")

Emacs has generated the proper entry in ~/.authinfo. (I would prefer
if it used ~/.authinfo.gpg for that, but this is probably a separate
story.)

>From the perspective of a user who doesn't know much about smtp, I
agree with Stefan's previous message suggesting that it would be
nice to get rid of the need to have customizations such as

      (setq gnutls-algorithm-priority "normal:-dhe-rsa")

But from my perspective this may go on the wishlist.

Thanks a lot for all your efforts with this!
