Redmine 1.1.x and the dreaded STARTTLS error

Before I forget this and go through the hour of wasted time on google, here is how to get Redmine 1.1.x to work with Gmail over TLS.

Add the following to the email YAML configuration, in addition to all the gmail specific stuff:

enable_starttls_auto: true
tls: true

Phew. Hope this helps others too.

Some pertinent details:

Rails 2.3.5
Redmine 1.1.x
Ruby 1.8.7 (InstantRails flavour)
Windows Server 2008 R2

NO EXTRA CRAP REQUIRED - no tls_smtp.rb monkey patching or plugins.
