I can send a mail even if the cursor is positioned in the
middle/bottom of the mail.

Please try simple setting.  Could you dig up problematic setting
from your init-files (.emacs/.mew.el)?

Mew speaks SMTP directly.  Default value of the name of SMTP
server is "localhost".

If you want to change the setting of the name of SMTP server,
set the `mew-smtp-server' variable.  e.g.
(setq mew-smtp-server "smtp.example.net")

Read the Mew manual for more information.

[mew-int 01293] leafnode-2 doesn't give out default-article to mew newsreader

leafnode keeps a list of "interesting" newsgroups for small sites
that don't want all the groups of a large newsfeed, but it still
offers them to clients.  so if a client asks for a newsgroup not
currently collected from the upstream, leafnode will offer a default
article just stating the fact that leafnode will commence getting
this newsgroup for the client the next time fetchnews(8) is run.

here's the log of the NNTP dialogue, where a fresh installation of
mew-3.2 ordered an article of a yet non-existing article (slightly
edited for readability).  i'd like to know why mew failed to display
this default article:

is there a sample .mew.el for beginners to get started aside from
what's mentioned in the info files?  M-x apropos-variable RET ^mew
spits out so many variables not mentioned there, and they aren't
especially well documented.

See mew.dot.emacs and mew.dot.mew.

(These files are included in the Mew's tar ball.  Mew binary
package might provide these files.  For instance, Debian mew
binary package provides these files in the
/usr/share/doc/mew/examples directory.)

Also, the following files might give more hint to you.

ah!  makes sense.  i retried the same actions manually with telnet
and wondered why i couldn't repeat this behaviour with arbitrary
newsgroups.

ok, these files summarize what's in the info files.

yes, these are a valuable resource.  i just discovered a problem with
mew contacting leafnode-2 for NNTP.  it's not mews fault, but readers
might want to know that leafnode has a bug when its special "default"
articles are accessed by ARTICLE <message-ID>.

so i still have to use gnus until this is fixed.  this raises the
question of the differences between gnus and mew.  i thought i'd get
an equally capable reader, but with a more logical, MIME oriented
usage pattern and much higher speed.  i was astonished when seeing
that a recent gnus distribution is about one third bigger than mew.

do you think this expectation is justified?  and, how many people
work on mew?

Hi !

 Thank you for your help ! :)

 ...sorry for the late answer...
 I removed nearly all settings in my .emacs file concerning mew and
 started mew. Now I can send mail "whereever I want" ;)

 Kind regards,
 Meino
