My suspicion is that, in the interest of not confusing Windows users, Emacs is now shipping messages to the default mailer listed in the OS, in preference to its own SMTP capabilities. If I'm right, I'm hoping there's a variable I can set to fix this. If I'm wrong, then I've got no idea. Clearly Emacs isn't doing the talk to the SMTP server directly thing right now, and I'd rather not dig through smtpmail.el to find out why.
