hmmm...I'm fairly confident that this means, Emacs can't find msmtp to
send the email OR msmtp is looking at the wrong place for the
configuration files.

See, if I do M-x shell and type

/usr/sbin/msmtp --version
msmtp version 1.4.13
TLS/SSL library: OpenSSL
Authentication library: GNU SASL
Supported authentication methods:
plain cram-md5 digest-md5 external login 
IDN support: enabled
NLS: disabled
System configuration file name: /etc/msmtprc
User configuration file name: /cygdrive/c/Documents and 
Settings/sivaram/Application Data/.msmtprc

and from the cygwin command line

[sivaram@~]
$ /usr/sbin/msmtp.exe --version
msmtp version 1.4.13
TLS/SSL library: OpenSSL
Authentication library: GNU SASL
Supported authentication methods:
plain cram-md5 digest-md5 external login
IDN support: enabled
NLS: disabled
System configuration file name: /etc/msmtprc
User configuration file name: /home/sivaram/.msmtprc


Try msmtp --version from within the Emacs shell and copy the msmtprc
file there and try again?
