Sorry about that.  I know what is going on.

Create a ~/.whimsy file and put in it:

:sendmail:
  delivery_method: smtp
  address: smtp.gmail.com
  port: 587
  domain: apache.org
  user_name: username
  password: password
  authentication: plain
  enable_starttls_auto: true

Background: secretary/workbench is the oldest whimsy tool and has its
own configuration (~/.secassist, ~/.secmail).  Over time, I saw a lot
of commonality in configuration and made that common (~/.whimsy) but
didn't update secretary/workbench.   Then when mail wasn't working on
whimsy-vm3, I made a fix to the common code and instead of making a
separate fix to the workbench, I updated it to use the common mail
configuration.

So: same information, different place, slightly different format; but
on the brighter side this same information will be used by all of the
whimsy tools that send email.
