			We will create a local configuration for Mutt on ~/.muttrc. This file might not exist yet, you can create this file with the content below

			set sendmail="/usr/bin/msmtp"
			set use_from=yes
			set realname=""
			set from=@gmail.com
			set envelope_from=yes

			You need to change realname and from above. realname is shown as sender on recipient, while from is the email address that you'll use to send the email.

			<br>
			Of course you don't have to put your email directly on command line. Another way to create complete email like what we just did earlier is to create a file with the contents below. Give the file name email.txt

			To: @gmail.com
			From: @gmail.com
			Subject: Email Test using MSMTP from File

			Hi,
			This is an email test from file.

			To send this email you can use command :

			$ cat email.txt \| msmtp -a default recipient@domain.com
