Actually I managed to compose an e-mail and pressed C-c C-c, but MIT-SCHEME
was running inside a container (as in LXC), which didn't have sendmail, and
as no error was given, I though the mail just got abandoned. I will go with
SMTP, thanks for the tip.

Now you mentioned Edwin, I checked it out and saw that it also has an NNTP
client + RMAIL. What is the relation between these parts? Is IMAIL  a newer
version of RMAIL or do they serve different purposes? Sorry for my
ignorance, I'm new to MIT-SCHEME.
