Glenn,
You're a genius. With all the paths to emacs, I didn't notice that I'd
installed flim in one of them; this was where the funky variables were
coming from and almost certainly where the bugs were being bred. I
tar/gzip'd the whole package up, deleted the files, rebooted emacs, and
viola-- it's working now (almost...). You're a genius.
New problem: Yes, emacs' mail is now working... to a degree. I can send
mail with it to myself, but only within the local machine. If I try to
send via my ISP, I get nothing. That is to say, I know that emacs is
connecting to the ISP and handing off the email, but it never gets
delivered back to me. I suspect that the ISP is simply tossing it out
due to lack of authentication from me. I found a couple functions
alleged to remedy that:
;; Authenticate using this username and password against my server.
(setq smtpmail-auth-credentials
'(("hostname" "port" "username" "password")))
;; Use STARTTLS without authentication against the server.
(setq smtpmail-starttls-credentials
'(("hostname" "port" nil nil)))
I don't know whether to fill in my hostname or that of my ISP, or the
one in one function and the other in the second function. Also, I use a
couple different email addresses (usernames and passwords) on the same
ISP-- how would I handle that in (setq smtpmail-auth-credentials ...)?
Has anyone set this up before? Tips much appreciated. (Glenn, thanks
again.)
tia,
ken
