Hi :)

sometime ago I tried to set up Wanderlust without success.

OR I DID SET IT UP CORRECTLY, BUT DID USE THE WRONG COMMAND TO EDIT A
MAIL FOR Wanderlust, MAYBE I WROTE IT FOR Emacs DEFAULT MAILER AND THEN
TRIED TO SEND IT WITH WL?!

Because I've got to maintain experimental Linux DAWs, I had no time to
go on with becoming familiar with Emacs and Wanderlust until now. Today
I'll try again.

Again I started with this howto, but just to get SMTP support, no POP or
IMAP support is needed:

        +trash  "Trash"
        +draft  "Drafts"
        edubuntu@edubuntu:~$ cat ~/.emacs/.wl
        ;; wanderlust
        (autoload 'wl "wl" "Wanderlust" t)
        (autoload 'wl-other-frame "wl" "Wanderlust on new frame." t)

        starttls-extra-arguments '("--insecure")

        (autoload 'wl-user-agent-compose "wl-draft" nil t)
        (if (boundp 'mail-user-agent)
            (setq mail-user-agent 'wl-user-agent))

              'mail-send-hook))

edubuntu@edubuntu:~$ emacs
        M-x wl

First frame

        Desktop:0/1/10
          inbox:*/*/*
          Trash:0/0/0
          Drafts:0/1/10

Second frame

        Warning (elmo): Please set `wl-message-id-domain' to get valid
        Message-ID string.

Third and last frame

        Please answer y or n. Folder %inbox does not exist, create it?
        (y or n)

FWIW, I answered `y' on a German qwertz keyboard, I didn't answer `z'
instead of `y' and the 3. frame displayed

        Checking "Desktop" is done
        
While I try to find out again how to write an email I got
        
        [snip]
        1 pending operation(s) exists.  Perform now? (y or n) 
        Please answer y or n.  1 pending operation(s) exists.  Perform
        now? (y or n)  [10 times]
        Flushing queue....1/1.

        0/1 operation(s) are performed successfully.
        Uncheck "%inbox"
        Checking "+trash"
        Checking "+draft"
        Checking "Desktop" is done

Folders now are
        
        Desktop:0/1/0
          inbox:*/*/*
          Trash:0/0/0
          Drafts:0/1/0

FWIW if I push C-c C-c, while there's no email written, I get
        
        C-c C-c is undefined

IS THERE ANY HUMAN USABLE MANUAL, ALTERNATIVELY TO THIS ODD M-x h?

How do I write an email to sent with Wanderlust by using Emacs?

If I write a mail by
        
        M-x mail
        
e.g.

        To:ralf.mardorf@alice-dsl.net 
        Subject:Test Apr/25/2011 
        --text follows this line--
        Test

and then try to send it by C-c C-c I get

        Sending...

for one frame and the mail changes to

        To:ralf.mardorf@alice-dsl.net 
        Subject:Test Apr/25/2011 
        User-Agent: SEMI/1.14.6 (Maruoka) FLIM/1.14.9
        (=?UTF-8?B?R29qxY0=?=)
         APEL/10.8 Emacs/23.1 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) MULE/6.0
        (HANACHIRUSATO)
        MIME-Version: 1.0 (generated by SEMI 1.14.6 - "Maruoka")
        Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII
        --text follows this line--
        Test
        
There was no request for the password, no error message, no mail was
sent and obviously Wanderlust is missing in the User-Agent string.

Still any hints and links in English or in German are highly welcome.
