+msmtp -- SMTP plugin for MUAs
+
+This is a simple program that works as an "SMTP plugin" for Mutt
+and probably other MUAs (mail user agents). msmtp forwards mails
+to an SMTP server (for example at a free mail provider) which does
+the delivery.
+
+Features include:
+ * SMTP AUTH methods PLAIN, LOGIN and CRAM-MD5
+ * TLS encrypted connections
+ * IPv6 support
+ * robustness
+ * detailed error messages (including the full answer of the
+ SMTP server) if something goes wrong
+ * sendmail compatible exit codes (which most MUAs understand).
+
+Simply tell your MUA to call msmtp instead of /usr/sbin/sendmail.
