I can post article to news group. but cant send mail.

when I press 'C-c C-c' after I finish a letter, 

it shows this error: no such file or directory, fakemail.

I've googled this error, somebody has the same problem, but it was
solved after he copy a fakemail.exe from the old version.

I didnt find fakemail.exe . could anybody give this file to me?

thanks. :)

That does not solve the problem. You do NOT want a copy of
fakemail on Windows. The old version of fakemail.exe that was
distributed with W32 Emacs binaries used to silently fail, making you
think your mail had been sent, when really it had been silently
deleted.

The answer for most Windows users is to configure Emacs to use
smtpmail.el for sending mail. This should be described in the NTEmacs
FAQ.

Or setup a local smtp service. My way is to install cygwin, and then
install exim package. It can be installed as a NT service via
cygrunserv. Exim is fairly easy to setup.

WTH.
