[22] problem configuring smtpmail for gmail.com |

I'd appreciate help {fix, debug}ing a problem mailing to
smtp.gmail.com (and other TLS-using mail hosts) using smtpmail.
Apologies if this should go to bug-gnu-emacs (but it's probably a
configuration problem) or if it's a FAQ (but my searches haven't found
that). (Note that, while searching, I've read
http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/smtpmail/index.html
http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/windows/Network-access.html
http://justinsboringpage.blogspot.com/2009/02/sending-email-via-gmail-in-emacs.html
http://obfuscatedcode.wordpress.com/2007/04/26/configuring-emacs-for-gmails-smtp/
http://josefsson.org/emacs-smtp-starttls.html
and several list and newsgroup posts.) Please let me know if this
forum is in/appropriate, and feel free to reply directly to me as well
as to the list.
I'm running GNU Emacs 22.2.1, as installed by ubuntu package=
emacs22-gtk, on xubuntu 9.04, which is patched up-to-date. I'd like to
enable mail sending directly from emacs, since that's where I actually
compose mail. I don't currently want to use emacs to read/store mail,
since gmail seems to work pretty well for that. Hence I'd like to keep
the MUA simple, and smtpmail.el seems to be the simplest emacs MUA.
(Am I missing something?) My emacs seems to be pretty well setup for
that, since
* M-x load-library starttls.el finds it in
/usr/share/emacs/22.2/lisp/gnus/starttls.el.gz
* M-x load-library smtpmail.el finds it in
/usr/share/emacs/22.2/lisp/mail/smtpmail.el.gz
I have also installed package=gnutls-bin, and can
tlroche@tlrZ61t:~$ gnutls-cli -s -p 587 smtp.gmail.com

> ^C
I have also made
tlroche@tlrZ61t:~$ cat ~/.authinfo
> machine smtp.pobox.com login <id omitted/> password <pw omitted/>
> machine smtp.gmail.com login <id omitted/> password <pw omitted/>
In my init.el I have

and I've verified that those vars get loaded. But when I try to send
a simple message via
C-x m
twiddle buffer
C-c C-c
I get
*trace of SMTP session to smtp.gmail.com*

So apparently I need to configure myself to utter a STARTTLS command
when sending mail. If so, how to do that? If not, what am I missing?
Your suggestions regarding
* how to debug this problem
* how to fix this problem
* how to avoid this problem (i.e. better ways to approach this task,
given that I'd like to keep it simple)
* better places to seek help
are appreciated. TIA, Tom Roche <Tom_Roche@pobox.com>
