+By default, NotMuch uses sendmail to send your mail. But if you prefer
+a simpler solution like msmtp, first [install and configure msmtp](http://msmtp.sourceforge.net/).
+
+Then create a symbolic link so that msmtp will be called instead of sendmail
+when you press the keyboard shortcut to send your message.
