Re: [VM] sending email with ssl to Verizon server

[Alan Wehmann]

I am still investigating what I can say that is useful about the error 
reported by Richard when checking for new mail.

As for sending email, I had success using gnutls-cli from Cygwin, 
together with the smtp package in Emacs 24.2 on a laptop running Windows 
XP Home.  I am using the win32 version of emacs (version is reported as 
"GNU Emacs 24.2.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600) of 2012-08-28 on MARVIN"). 
I'll provide more details in a later message.
