Hello,

I am using msmtp to send mail, so I defined in my ~/.gnus the two
variables:

 ;;
 ;; gmail with msmtp
 ;;
 sendmail-program "/usr/bin/msmtp"
 message-sendmail-extra-arguments '("-a gmail")


With Gnus 5.10.8, this works well, but with ngnus 0.6, sending mail
fails with the message "Sending...failed with exit value 78".

What am I doing wrong ?

Thanks,
-- 
Nicolas

After writing a short shell script wrapper to msmtp, I found that
message-sendmail-extra-arguments variable was wrong (msmtp complained of
a non-existent " gmail" account), so this variable must be set to:

(setq message-sendmail-extra-arguments '("-a" "gmail"))


Not sure why it worked with 5.10.6, but now it works with both.
