Herbert, 

With (setq wl-envelope-from "brownh@historicalmaterialism.info") 
added, I'm still getting an error:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument arrayp nil)
  signal(wrong-type-argument (arrayp nil))
  byte-code ("..." [smtp-server recipients id err smtp-sasl-user-name 
  smtp-sasl-mechanisms wl-draft-write-sendlog failed 
  smtp smtp-response-error 535 elmo-remove-passwd format "SMTP:%s/%s@%s" 
  signal server mechanism user] 6)
  wl-draft-send-mail-with-smtp()
  wl-draft-dispatch-message()
  wl-draft-normal-send-func(#<buffer +draft/12> t)
  wl-draft-send(t)
  wl-draft-send-and-exit()
  call-interactively(wl-draft-send-and-exit nil nil) 

I don't understand the debug syntax. For example, does "err" refer to 
"smtp-server recipients id" or to "smtp-sasl-user-name"? Also, this 
suggests that writing to sendlog failed, but in fact the outgoing 
messages is recorded there, although it failed to get out.

Response error 535 means I'm not being authenticated. Is this because 
the passwd has wrong format? I might inject here that my PW contains 
an ampersand. Perhaps wl does not like them. Once in a while that 
happens.

Is the debug saying that the format of my UID is garbled? I understood 
"posting-user" to refer to the address of the sender. I have:

  (setq wl-smtp-posting-user "brownh@historicalMaterialism.info")

I also have this set of lines in .wl:

  (setq wl-from "Haines Brown <Haines@histomat.net>")
  (setq wl-message-id-use-message-from nil) 

Is this the right combination if I set wl-from to be other than 
the outgoing envelop address?
