And @samp already specifies the same typeface as @code anyway. If I understand what you want, I would say something like this: The variable @code{smtpmail-debug-info} controls whether to print the SMTP protocol exchange in the minibuffer, and retain the entire exchange in a buffer @samp{*trace of SMTP session to @var{server}*} (where @var{server} is the value of the variable @code{smtpmail-smtp-server}).
