What is your outgoing email setup? As another poster noted, if you use smtpmail (as I do) you can set smtpmail-debug-info and smtpmail-debug-verb to t to get a trace buffer each time you send a message (it gets overwritten for each one, though, so be prepared to save it off if you need the record). However, there are other ways to configure emacs to send mail and the fact that you are not finding that variable suggests you may be using one of them. Most likely is sendmail since I think that's the default, in which case you may find you have a buffer named " sendmail errors" that has the trace in it. You might also want to take a look at the mail-interactive variable. If it's nil I don't think you get the trace. -- Dave Goldberg david.goldberg6@verizon.net
