little unfriendly.
First, I have already changed SMTP_SERVER to default to localhost,
matching git's behaviour. (If it wasn't already painfully obvious, this
is all modelled after git send-email.) Therefore, the error message now
reflects an actual failure to send the message.
The analogy with git explains my reaction. cygport announce strikes me
as a combination of git format-patch and git send-email. In my own use
of git, I've never bothered to configure git send-email. I just use git
format-patch and paste it or attach it to an email. So I was expecting
to use cygport announce the same way. And I can in fact use it the same
way, but it tells me there's an error. That's OK. I'll try not to take
it personally.
