I think it's much harder to set up sendmail or SMTP. Setting up a web proxy is hardly a nightmare, and as I said it benefits a wide range of users. Specifically for submitting *Emacs bugs* it's a good solution. On Sat, 11 Feb 2012 13:37:08 +0900 "Stephen J. Turnbull" wrote: SJT> Why can't we have both?

Would it help if I put it together? Ted
