Thanks.

And test if it is easy to arrange (otherwise I'll take a look myself, so
do not worry too much about it).

That is a good and important point.

We could

	[sendemail]
        	smtpserveroption = opt1
        	smtpserveroption = opt2
                
or if we choose to split at WS

	[sendemail]
        	smtpserveroption = "opt1 opt2"

but with the second form there always is this nagging "how would you
specify an option with WS in it" issue, so the former might be easier.  

If we take the latter route, we should take a single command line option
and split it, i.e. --smtp-server-option='opt1 opt2', using the same WS
quoting mechanism, for consistency between command line and configuration.

I dunno.  Have we solved a similar issue with other parts of the system,
and how?

I tend to prefer shift/unshift/push/pop written without these
parentheses.  Is it just me?
