A queue script is included with msmtp, so you can have the best of both

Is there an obvious way forward to check periodically for regaining
the network connection and flushing the queue?
From the URL above:
msmtp-queue -r -- runs (flushes) all the contents of the queue
Try running 'msmtp-queue -r' at your shell. It should trigger sending.
Adding 'msmtp-queue -r' as a cron job should do it automatically.
I saw that, but wanted to be sure I wasn't missing any functionality built-in
due to my lack of understanding or ignorance.
If there is built-in functionality to do this, I am not finding it.
I haven't found one, but I think it'd go through cron or some other
scheduling system.
So it sounds like I wasn't missing anything from what you and Sam are saying.
I don't send out very many emails; I read far more than I respond to. My
Internet connection is usually very reliable. I am wondering if it is even
worth the effort for a cron job on this. I think what you suggest -- an
manual 'msmtp-queue -r' as needed -- is more than ample for my use case. For
that matter, in most instances I don't even mind waiting until I send another
email which will achieve the same effect.
Thank you very much for everyone's suggestions! My Mutt installation is
getting better and better and faster and faster!
