For the last few days it has refused to send any email longer than about 2500 characters, whether in the text proper or in an attachment. Sometimes the message is smtpmail-send-command: writing to process: no error, SMTP and sometimes Process SMTP not running. My Emacs 24.3 tells me that smtpmail-send-command is not documented. What is going on? Note: I have repeatedly tried to post this query on gnu.emacs.gnus. Gnus goes through the motions, but the posting has never appeared. I have had not difficulty posting on other newsgroups, so I am trying this one. -- --- Joe Fineman joe_f@verizon.net ||: Cave canem. (Beware -- I might sing.) :||
