[PATCH] send-email: don't call methods on undefined values

From

<1378673674-97212-1-git-send-email-sandals@crustytoothpaste.net>

If SSL verification is enabled in git send-email, we could attempt to call a method on an undefined value if the verification failed, since $smtp would end up being undef. Look up the error string in a way that will produce a helpful error message and not cause further errors.
