any takers for this one?

From: "David M. Karr" <dmkarr(a)earthlink.net&gt; Subject: Undying bug in smtpmail.el::smtpmail-via-smtp: user-mail-address nil Newsgroups: comp.emacs.xemacs Date: Sat, 16 Jun 2001 13:06:33 -0700 This bug report will be sent to the XEmacs Development Team, not to your local site managers!! Please write in English, because the XEmacs maintainers do not have translators to read other languages for them. In XEmacs 21.4 (patch 3) "Academic Rigor" [Lucid] (i686-pc-cygwin) of Thu Jun 14 2001 on WONDARK configured using `configure --prefix=/usr' Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug and the precise symptoms of the bug: I've been using 21.1 for quite a while, and just built and installed 21.4. I once worked Simon Josefson (sp?) on bugs I was seeing in smtpmail.el. We worked through those problems, and I thought the fixes eventually got into the various releases this package was a part of. Now, I see that at least one of the fixes that were made aren't in the package in this release. Perhaps I'm not understanding how packages in XEmacs get updated (or how I'm supposed to update them in my installation). In particular, when I try to send an email message, I get a "SMTP protocol error", and it doesn't send. The problem is this block of code in "smtpmail.el": -------------- ; (smtpmail-send-command process (format "MAIL FROM:%s＠%s" (user-login-name) (smtpmail-fqdn))) (smtpmail-send-command process (format "MAIL FROM: <%s>%s%s" user-mail-address size-part body-part)) -------------- When I get to this point in the debugger, I find that "user-mail-address" is nil. This ends up creating an invalid "FROM:" value. What appears to be the fix is changing "user-mail-address" to "(user-mail-address)". When I reevaluate it with that change and resend the note, then it goes off fine (just like this error report, I hope).
