Sorry, what i meant is that it was easy to fix *my* Emacs after I found out what the problem was. > Otherwise could you check what is happening when you try to send a bug > report? Is `mailclient-send-it' called? It is not. It is only called on darwin and windows-nt. From `send-mail-function': (if (and window-system (memq system-type '(darwin windows-nt))) 'mailclient-send-it 'sendmail-send-it) Now, I think this bug bites anyone who - is not on darwin/windows-nt (where mailclient-send-it might be able to deliver) - has not configured sendmail and - has not configured mail-user-agent (or reports from emacs -Q) Am I wrong? -- Florian Beck
