mutt-lite + msmtp : any help?

[Mayuresh Kathe]

i lost my archives and hence don't have the configuration files
i used for the mutt+msmtp combo for my email system.

i rebuilt muttrc tailored for mutt-lite, as below;
set realname = "Mayuresh Kathe"
set from = "***@kathe.in"
set imap_user = "***@kathe.in"
set imap_pass = ""
set imap_keepalive = "90"
set folder = "imaps://mail.gandi.net:993"
set spoolfile = "+Inbox"
set record = "+Sent"
set postponed = "+Drafts"
set trash = "+Trash"
set message_cachedir = "~/.mutt/cache/bodies"
set certificate_file = "~/.mutt/certificates"

but, am totally confused about msmtprc.
would anyone with the experience of using msmtp please help?

also, would like to know why msmtp has bash as a dependency,
and is it possible to eliminate that dependency.

thanks.

Probably not. The msmtp default configuration seems to contain
the option MSMTPQ for managing offline message queues, and this
is done via bash scripts. It _might_ be possible to try to run
those scripts with regular sh, and in case this won't work,
change them in order to _not_ require any bash-isms. :-)
