Do you know _why_ it does not work?  For example, does it not work _at
all_ for you?  Or only certain things does not reliably work (iow, perhaps
you are seeing a bug in imap-send)?  We might want to find who wrote the
imap-send recommendation and ask their input.

What I am trying to get at is to see if the current imap-send suggestion
is fundamentally unworkable with gmail.  Perhaps they stopped supporting
imap.  Perhaps the procedure never worked.  I would be very happy to apply
your patch as is if that is the case.

But if the trouble you had is something fixable, I think removal of the
original text is unfriendly to people who have only imap reachability to
gmail---the description instead needs fixing.
