Re: [Bug: 21.4.18] startls gets stuck

If Simon says not, I guess he's in the best position to diagnose since he knows the internals of smtpmail best. Uwe> Any help is appreciated, sending works but archiving not and Uwe> I am not sure whether this is a bug or a wrong setting. You still have the mail in the buffer (and for Gnus, in the draft folder), right? If not, that's a bug. However, whether the archiving to the FCC folder happens or not is a design decision; as far as the MUA knows, the mail was not successfully posted, so the transaction is still active. The MUA should preserve the message *somewhere*, but it's up to the MUA to decide how and where to do that. Some users might get annoyed if their archives got cluttered up with duplicates in cases where the mail *did* fail and they had to resent.
