Does exim's sendmail emulation support -odb (for background delivery)?
Makes no difference. call-process-region is called with 0 as the
fifth arg ,so Xemacs should not be waiting around for the process
to terminate. Both of these calls do the right thing for me.
(call-process-region 1 3 "/bin/sleep" nil 0 nil "10")
(call-process-region 1 3 "/bin/sleep" nil nil nil "10")
The first one should return immediately, the seonc d should
return after about 10 seconds. Change /bin/sleep to wherever the
sleep binary is on your system.
