It is. XEmacs defines smtpmail-program not in the mail-lib module, but in the core XEmacs in paths.el, as follows: (defconst sendmail-program nil "Program used to send messages.") and sendmail.el does: (program (if (boundp 'sendmail-program) sendmail-program "/usr/lib/sendmail")) Ideally, the paths.el declaration should be removed, but maybe sendmail-program has to be declared for other core packages to work. In any case, it is an XEmacs problem, and should be reported to them. The XEmacs mail-lib package maintainer can help to improve the XEmacs sendmail.el, but that will probably not help unless core XEmacs is improved too. /Simon
