Hi all,

Just installed msmtp last night. I discovered that the config file syntax
is rather limited; comments must exist on their own line, separate from
actual config settings. So while the following is legal:
# from: shown in email "from" field
# user, password: for SMTP authentication
account   gmail
host      smtp.gmail.com
port      587
from      [email protected]
user      [email protected]

The following is not legal:
account   gmail
host      smtp.gmail.com
port      587
from      [email protected] # from: shown in email "from" field
user      [email protected] # user, password: for SMTP authentication

Or, more accurately, the "from" configuration option will be set to '
[email protected] # from: shown in email "from" field'. I
cloned the repo on sourceforge and wrote up a patch. However, I was unable
to sucessfully build the software so as to test it (autohell strikes
again!). You can find my patch and build output
here<http://pastebin.com/AjNRq3jc>and
here <http://pastebin.com/gGKNh69b>, respectively. Have fun, and I hope
someone else can test out the patch.
