Not that I know of. I never needed to and I would not know how to set
it up. As I said, now that I know about the problem, it is easy for me
to fix.
Look, if you think my setup is bizzare, please ignore my report. But I don't
think it is. I installed Ubuntu and used gnus to talk to my pop server. I
didn't configure sendmail or a system mail client or `mail-user-agent'
because everything worked – until after more then a year I realised that
emacs bug reports were not delived, despite the message »Sending…done«.
