I use gnus.  The configuration file I use is as follows:

#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
  (setq gnus-select-method '(nntp "news.gmane.org"))
  (setq auth-sources '((:source "/usr/xxx/.authinfo.gpg")))

  (setq user-mail-address "xxx@bughat.com"
        user-full-name "xxx")

  (setq gnus-posting-styles
             '((message-news-p        ;; A function symbol
                (signature-file "~/.gpg-fingerprint"))))

  (add-to-list 'gnus-secondary-select-methods
               '(nnimap "xxx@bughat.com"
                        (nnimap-user "xxx@bughat.com")
                        (nnimap-address "mail.bughat.com")
                        (nnimap-server-port 993)
                        (nnimap-stream ssl)))

  (setq send-mail-function 'smtpmail-send-it
        message-send-mail-function 'smtpmail-send-it
        smtpmail-smtp-server "mail.bughat.com"
        smtpmail-smtp-service 587)

#+END_EXAMPLE
