[PATCH 1/2] Documentation: git-send-email: fix submission port number

From
Wesley J. Landaker <wjl@icecavern.net>

Message-ID
<1248995334-28545-1-git-send-email-wjl@icecavern.net>

The current documentation confuses non-standard SSL smtp port 465 with submission port 587 (RFC 4406). This patch just changes the referenced number.
