sending attachements via gnus

sending attachements via gnus

[Fabrice Popineau]

The patches by Mike Alexander have made things working better, but
still I can't get to send say a 2Mb file attached.

Now after some investigation in smtpmail (since this is what I'm using
on NT), I wonder where the problem really is. Can anybody confirm
using any Unix (or maybe Cygwin ? ) version of xemacs that smtpmail is
able to send a large buffer ?

It seems that the loop sending the buffer line by line aborts before
the end (smtpmail-send-data function), and then a QUIT is sent to the
smtp server, but with no answer (the smtp server is waiting for a '.',
isn't it ?). So the whole thing hang.

Any suggestion ? I'll try to do more investigation when I will have time.

I use smtpmail on Unix and have often sent large attachements (at
least a couple of megs).  A few years back, I used smtpmail on NTemacs 
(on Win95), and I often had problems sending large attachments.  The
symptoms were as you described.  I don't recall that I ever found a
cure.
