+    Optional.  Method to use to send email messages.  If value is
+    "smtp" (default), use SMTP (see section "[mail]" for
+    configuration).  Otherwise, use as name of program to run that
+    acts like sendmail (takes "-f" option for sender, list of
+    recipients on command line, message on stdin).  Normally, setting
+    this to "sendmail" or "/usr/sbin/sendmail" is enough to use
+    sendmail to send messages.

+    from = Joseph User <[e-mail]>
