thanks for responding.  I see this problem when I try to use google's
smtp server, when behind a firewall that does not allow me to access
it, for example.  emacs still tries hard to connect, this takes a
while, and during this time c-g doesn't have an effect.  I don't know
how to reproduce this without this situation, but perhaps this
additional information helps?  thanks again...
