Hi Hugh I remember that I wasn't able to get this working when I tried back in January. My setup was (and still is) GNU Emacs 23.1.1 (i386-mingw-nt6.0.6002) on Windows Vista. (Having said that, I have recently upgraded my Gnus to version v0.11, but the problems I was encountering were focussed in the Emacs mail package outside of Gnus). I was experimenting both with a version of gnutls from my Cygwin installation, and another that, IIRC, I built myself from source. I did some debugging (see http://groups.google.com/group/gnu.emacs.gnus/browse_thread/thread/d561d7cc266a2336/74092c866822bc04) and it seemed that a particular section of code was skipping sending a STARTTLS even though the Google smtp server was publishing STARTTLS as available. At the time I couldn't see that there was any way around the issue without modifying Emacs source, and I don't know Lisp that well. In the end I had to run through various old e-mail subscriptions that I had accumulated to see if I could find one that permitted use of its smtp server with any from address. I was lucky, and found one. My best assessment - though I didn't go into it that deeply - is that Gmail's smtp server is sending its EHLO response in form that, in some way, Emacs' smtpmail is a little confused by. Having given up on it myself, if you do get this working, I would love to know the solution too. Good luck!
