I'm afraid that's not currently possible.

That really is a limitation. It should be possible to define basic
account properties in /etc/msmtprc and then have only a little
customization in ~/.msmtprc.

Instead of throwing away an account from /etc/msmtprc if an account
with the same name is defined in ~/.msmtprc, we should merge the two.

I'd like to implement this. Could this cause compatibility problems for
existing setups? Are there any objections?
