But I couldn't figure out how to send mail. Could someone help? I guess you could write your own routine wrapping a call to `sendmail-send-it' or you could also use smtpmail.el and use an external SMTP server. Here I am using my own sendmail-send function which stores all sent mail in a queue. Then a cron job just send the queue by UUCP once a day. This is a workaround to a simple problem I could not fix easily (roaming and SMTP connections refused by my IST). Xavier -- http://www.gnu.org http://www.april.org http://www.lolica.org
