Apparently in 23.1, on windows at least, you may have to set message-send-mail-function explicitly to use sendmail. On the earlier 22.2, this was not needed if you're using some other MDA.
(setq message-send-mail-function 'message-send-mail-with-sendmail) ;;;use msmtp instead of sendmail (setq sendmail-program "/usr/sbin/msmtp") Otherwise Emacs tries to launch the default windows associated mail client. In my case, it was puzzling to see it launch Firefox when I was trying to send email. A look at the docs showed that there are a number of options to message-send-mail-function. Hope this helps someone in a similar situation. sivaram -- _______________________________________________ info-gnus-english mailing list info-gnus-english@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnus-english
