The basic functionality seems to work for me. However, .netrc is relatively
restrictive, in that it assumes you only have one account on a given machine...

If no user is specified, the current behaviour is fine. However, if a user is
specified in .nailrc, then maybe "machine + login" should be matched as a pair
to find the associated password.

This is different to how .netrc works "traditionally", but S-nail isn't the
first program to re-purpose .netrc. I haven't investigated how other programs
behave, but judging purely from documentation, "msmtp" uses .netrc for password
lookup only, although I don't know if it matches only "machine" or a "machine +
login" pair.

Speaking of testing, the tests don't run at the moment.

Got a feeling, it's going far away...
