I _think_ most of the information you want is in send(1), but here are
some likely switches you need to add to send:
-sasl
-server smtp.gmail.com
-user MYGOOGLE_USERNAME
-tls
OK, great. Here's what I tried:
$ ls -l ~/.netrc
-rw-------. 1 moobt crew 57 Aug 19 10:49 /a/moobt/.netrc
$ cat ~/.netrc
machine smtp.gmail.com login examplefoo@gmail.com password XXXXXXXXX
$ send -snoop -nomime -msgid -server smtp.gmail.com -port 587 -tls -sasl
-user examplefoo@gmail.com /tmp/MSG_WITH_HEADERS_AND_BODY

post: problem initializing server; [BHST] TLS is not supported
send: message not delivered to anyone
'TLS is not supported' Does this mean I need to rebuild nmh?
Minor question: Is sasl used by tls? My sendmail MTA uses "STARTTLS", and I
had to set that up, but I'm not familiar with sasl.

You want to put the password in a .netrc file, or some other file defined
by the "credentials" profile entry. mh-profile(5) has this info, but
the entry in there should look something like:
machine smtp.gmail.com login MYGOOGLE_USERNAME password XXXXXX
You can use the -snoop switch to send(1) to see what is going on,
that will be invaluable for debugging. FYI, in my experience
"MYGOOGLE_USERNAME" includes "@gmail.com", but that is outside the scope
of nmh; it will happily use whatever you put in there, but you have to
get it right.
Right, per above, I followed an example in the nmh mailing list with
MYGOOGLE_USERNAME@gmail.com.
And if you don't mind me asking ... I would like to make this information
more easily findable. Were you just overwhelmed at where to start?
Maybe a bit lazy and overwhelmed. I think a few more examples would not hurt,
or if the man pages referred to another doc with examples. Your help, Ralph's
help, the man pages, and an 'egrep -r' of my nmh mailing list tree helped.
Did you look at send(1)? If you did, what was unclear?
I expected the answers might be in send or post. I glanced at the send man
page, but honestly only for a few seconds -- sorry, I could have concatenated
the send and post man pages and then searched them both at once.
Thanks!

I plan to use smtp.gmail.com sparingly.
