Re: starttls hanging indefinitely after sending a message

One possibility is to use message-mail instead of wl for sending. I've never understood why wl duplicates so much built-in functionality that already works really well!

I can log into Gmail and see that the message was in fact sent, but wl never gets confirmation of that so it hangs indefinitely. I can get control back by C-g -- then I have a stray draft with the message headers but no content. And the starttls process stays open.
