The smtpmail.el in XEmacs appears to support this provided you have an external program (starttls) available. My own mail server doesn't do it so I have nothing to test with. I suggest taking a look through your smtpmail.el and see what you need to do to support SSL and trying that. -- Dave Goldberg david.goldberg6@verizon.net
