I use mutt (1.5.21) with msmtp (1.4.28) as MDA. Usually, everything goes

sending email (I don't recall whether there is a correlation between
this problem and my trying to send not-so-big but yet around 1mb files).
Basically, what happens in trying to send an email is:
May 16 10:01:17 **** wpa_supplicant[662]: CTRL-EVENT-DISCONNECTED
bssid=**:**:**:**:**:** reason=0
.......
May 16 10:02:27 **** wpa_supplicant[662]: CTRL-EVENT-CONNECTED -
Connection to **:**:**:**:**:** completed (reauth) [id=0 id_str=]
.......
Then I try again, and the same thing happens. All msmtp's log shows is:
errormsg='cannot write to TLS connection: Pipe Broken' exitcode=EX_IOERR
Any ideas?

Based on above, mutt and msmpt *appear* to be fine, but this seems to be a
problem with the wireless driver, card, or router - you are being
disconnected from the network, which in turn is causing the 'broken pipe'.
Indeed, mutt + msmtp appear to be fine... My bad for not being
clearer... However, there is a correlation that goes beyond credible
coincidence: the disconnection happens when (and, as far as I can
recall, only when) I use mutt + msmtp to send sizeable files. In
particular, no disconnection occurs when I'm not using mutt + msmtp, or
when I use mutt + msmtp but I send emails without sizeable attachments.
Also, the disconnection happens within seconds of attempting to send the
sizeable emails.
I guess it is a problem with the wireless card, but it seems to be
somehow closely linked to the event of trying to send sizeable emails
using mutt + msmtp (when I use thunderbird to send the files, everything
works as expected, no disconnection).
You could feasibly work around it by using a wired connection, or take a
look at what is going on with your wireless.
My work around, for now, is to use thunderbird for sending large emails,
so there's no hurry. But I'm a bit puzzled about what's happening.
