When I use e.g. Thunderbird, there is no problem. Like me, you seem to sometimes have problems with a ``freeze'' of Gnus, as it waits a (very) long time before sending the mail. On my PC, Gnus sometimes uses mail, sometimes uses smtp (in ``msmtp,'' does the ``m'' stands for ``Microsoft,'' as you seem to work under Windows?), and it now works 3/4 of the time, but it sometimes does not work, and I am not warned about this. It is a real problem, as I have to transfer all mails I send to me, to be sure that they have been correctly received: if I receive my copy, the other person should have received his copy. ___ info-gnus-english mailing list info-gnus-english@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnus-english

If I'm sending mail through msmtp, Gnus does wait for about 10 secs before UI is accessible again and this is on Windows? sivaram -- ___ info-gnus-english mailing list info-gnus-english@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnus-english

Emacs 23.1 and sending email through msmtp
Apparently in 23.1, on windows at least, you may have to set message-send-mail-function explicitly to use sendmail. On the earlier 22.2, this was not needed if you're using some other MDA. (setq message-send-mail-function 'message-send-mail-with-sendmail) ;;;use msmtp instead of sendmail (setq sendmail-program "/usr/sbin/msmtp") Otherwise Emacs tries to launch the default windows associated mail client. In my case, it was puzzling to see it launch Firefox when I was trying to send email. A look at the docs showed that there are a number of options to message-send-mail-function. Hope this helps someone in a similar situation. sivaram -- ___ info-gnus-english mailing list info-gnus-english@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnus-english
