I would actually use it, what are the cons?) So, I was trying to set up smtpmail, by putting the thing in .emacs: (setq gnus-select-method '(nntp "netnews.comcast.net")) (setq user-mail-address "jplsp@web.portal.starts.with.y") (setq smtpmail-smtp-server "mail.comcast.net") (setq send-mail-function 'smtpmail-send-it) (setq message-send-mail-function 'smtpmail-send-it) (setq smtpmail-smtp-service 25) (setq smtpmail-debug-info t) (setq smtpmail-debug-verb t) When I press [send] I have in *Messages*: Loading message... Loading mule-util...done Loading easymenu...done Loading message...done Loading mailabbrev...done Sending... Loading gnus-msg...done Loading mail-extr...done Loading smtpmail...done Loading mailalias...done byte-code: Quit That's me, pressing C-g, because it just hangs. I see no trace of *trace* buffer, that was promised by debug variable. What's going on? Thanks :P Mel
