--- Begin Message ---Package: emacs21-common Version: 21.4a-3 Severity: normal While configuring Gnus to use authenticated SMTP, I noticed that the function smtpmail-open-stream in module smtpmail does not invoke starttls-open-stream when smtp authentication information is provided. In order to get my configuration to work, I found it necessary to modify smtpmail-open-stream as follows. I have commented out the code that tests whether the starttls/gnutls executable exists, because it returns null and the test for whether to use starttls fails. *** smtpmail.el.bak 2006-04-02 13:48:05.000000000 -0400 --- smtpmail.el 2006-04-02 13:38:48.000000000 -0400 *************** *** 471,485 **** (defun smtpmail-open-stream (process-buffer host port) (let ((cred (smtpmail-find-credentials smtpmail-starttls-credentials host port))) !

--- Begin Message ---The relevant code was extensively changed in 24.1 (Emacs now uses builtin TLS support), it looks to me like this issue no longer applies. The entire function smtpmail-open-stream no longer exists. If there is still an issue in the latest Emacs version, 24.3, I suggest opening a new report directly with upstream.
