Damn… So I tried to explore the logs to see what happened, and this is
not related to a change recently done.

Actually what happened is that `flim' got installed on my machine, and
its `smtp' package got used instead of `smtpmail' to send my mails.

Why is that, I don't know. I suspect there is some code that hooked up
`smtp' instead of `smtpmail', even if I have
`message-send-mail-function' set to `message-smtpmail-send-it'.

Removing flim -- that I don't even know what it is about nor care --
solved the problem.

Should be pretty easy to reproduce, though not sure it's worth it. I
don't know if it's `smtp.el' that's abusing the system or `message.el'
that's trying to play nice if you got an old package installed.

Sorry for the noise, let's hope that thread may help future Internet
traveller having this problem at some point.

Thanks Ted.
