Re: Emacs 21.2, smtpmail and vm

[Chris Hall <hall.cj@verizon.net>]

I'm pretty sure I found my problem - I had a 'mailaddress.el' lurking in
my load-path: custom one-liner I got out of a newgroup about 3 years
ago, and stuck in a site-lisp dir I had long forgotten about.  I
re-checked it them many times in the last couple of days (nights,
really), but found it tonight, mv'd it, and voila! Baaaad message gone!

Thanks though, I did tried your suggestion (there were *two*
references), then I started reading the code, then I decided it really
probably was my fault somehow, and decided I'd better be able to prove
it wasn't before I started complaining further.
