I'm checking in this change in a few minutes, but you'll probably have to say "make clean; make" for it to happen, since it uses the special `custom-initialize-delay' initialiser, which means that loaddefs.el has to change in some unspecified way. Anyway, after this has happened in your Emacs, you will be prompted for how email is to be sent (once), and the choice will be saved via `customize'. I realise that this is a controversial change, but it seems like there's a rough consensus² that this is the right thing to do. Give it a whirl and report back any problems, and give suggestions for how this should work better. --- ²) Very rough. -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) bloggy blog http://lars.ingebrigtsen.no/
