msmtp already has the capacity to read passwords from a ~/.netrc file.
However, I'd prefer to keep the password in /etc/netrc, because I have a number
of system-level daemons and cron jobs emailing me. They won't know what
user to get the password from. I propose the following patch against
msmtp 1.4.16, which tells msmtp to check for a /etc/netrc file if it
can't find one at ~/.netrc.
