Raymond> What is the correct xemacs way to wait for a process to terminate? Still don't know how to do that, but here is what I did. Sorry, no patch right now. At the end of smtpmail-via-smtp, replace all of the lines at the end starting at (delete-process process) with (set-process-sentinel process 'smtpmail-process-sentinel) And add the function (defun smtpmail-process-sentinel (process event) (message event) (delete-process process) (unless smtpmail-debug-info (kill-buffer process-buffer))) I suppose I should check that event is the expected one, but I didn't. In any case, with this change, the byte-compiled version has been working for me just fine. I no longer get messages about not being able to delete the process and messages are sent as expected.
