Just getting started with Gnus, so I may have completely missed this,
but... The smtp server I want to use requires a password, and
whenever I try to send messages to it, I get

Well, now I'm completely baffled. That clipped message happened
because I tried to send through that server so I could find the error
message, and it suddenly worked! Now, when I start a fresh copy of
emacs and try again, it doesn't work. I get "SMTP protocol error".
Any help appreciated, thanks
Dave

Well eventually I helped myself. A new smtpmail.el and netrc.el from
the current emacs CVS made it all work. I'm really surprised
AUTH=LOGIN support wasn't in an earlier emacs release, though, since
various versions of it seem to have been floating around since 2000,
at least.
