Thank you for working on this.
I have several questions about it:
. I'm not sure I understand how will the success/failure of sending
be communicated back to the callers. Currently, when the sending
succeeds, there's a message in echo-area, and if the message was a
reply, then Emacs marks the original message as "have been replied
to". How will this work with async sending?
. What happens if sending fails for some reason? It could be that
the problem is detected by smtpmail itself, or it could be that
some low-level code signals an error -- what happens in both
cases?
. With which MUA are you testing this?
. What happens if another message is sent while the previous one is
still being sent?
. What did you try to do in Emacs while the message was being sent,
and did you see any problems with the foreground responsiveness?
For that matter, how long did it take for the background thread to
send the message? If that was short enough, like 1 sec or so, I
suggest to test this with sending a larger message, like a message
with a large attachment. That's because the most important
situation where async sending is valuable is when it takes a long
time to send a message, either because it's a large message or
because the connection is slow or unreliable.
