-When sending mail, Message invokes @code{message-send-mail-function}.
-The default function, @code{message-send-mail-with-sendmail}, pipes
-your article to the @code{sendmail} binary for further queuing and
-sending.  When your local system is not configured for sending mail
-using @code{sendmail}, and you have access to a remote @acronym{SMTP}
-server, you can set @code{message-send-mail-function} to
-@code{smtpmail-send-it} and make sure to setup the @code{smtpmail}
-package correctly.  An example:
-
-@lisp
-(setq message-send-mail-function 'smtpmail-send-it
-      smtpmail-default-smtp-server "YOUR SMTP HOST")
-@end lisp
-
-To the thing similar to this, there is
-@code{message-smtpmail-send-it}.  It is useful if your @acronym{ISP}
-requires the @acronym{POP}-before-@acronym{SMTP} authentication.

-Other possible choices for @code{message-send-mail-function} includes
