 However, it's a good idea to set the "send_charset" to:
   set send_charset="us-ascii:utf-8"
 
+Mutt is highly customizable. Here is a minimum configuration to start
+using Mutt to send patches through Gmail:
+
+# .muttrc
+# ================  IMAP ====================
+set imap_user = 'yourusername@gmail.com'
+set imap_pass = 'yourpassword'
+set spoolfile = imaps://imap.gmail.com/INBOX
+set folder = imaps://imap.gmail.com/
+set record="imaps://imap.gmail.com/[Gmail]/Sent Mail"
+set postponed="imaps://imap.gmail.com/[Gmail]/Drafts"
+set mbox="imaps://imap.gmail.com/[Gmail]/All Mail"
+
+# ================  SMTP  ====================
+set smtp_url = "smtp://username@smtp.gmail.com:587/"
+set smtp_pass = $imap_pass
+set ssl_force_tls = yes # Require encrypted connection
+
+# ================  Composition  ====================
+set editor = `echo \$EDITOR`
+set edit_headers = yes  # See the headers when editing
+set charset = UTF-8     # value of $LANG; also fallback for send_charset
+# Sender, email address, and sign-off line must match
+unset use_domain        # because joe@localhost is just embarrassing
+set realname = "YOUR NAME"
+set from = "username@gmail.com"
+set use_from = yes
