If it's any consolation, GNU Emacs is *WAY* faster David> than XEmacs at sending mail to the SMTP server ;-) Right. That's because traditionally we assumed that sendmail always worked and used an asynchronous process. Then we started having people use less reliable software (eg, beta versions of TMDA) and losing mail. So now we wait on the return code. Perhaps this could be tweaked a bit, or made user-configurable, but we were in a hurry to get it right at the time; losing mail is a no-no. -- Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Ask not how you can "do" free software business; ask what your business can "do for" free software.
