Today i needed to send a message to another user on my debian box. I thought i'd just do what used to be the usual thing on a unix box: i compose-mail in emacs (control-x m), and drafted the text, and put in the other user's name in the To: line.
I then hit control-c control-c to mail it, but was really shocked when instead of sending it off, instead, my firefox popped up, displaying gmail, and my text was loaded in, poised to send off. I can see that would be useful (and in fact, i'm using this method right now to compose this mail just to see if it will actually go through), but it's not at all something that i asked for. So . . . if you want to send mail to another user on your box, and you do not want it to get bounced around on the internet but only to go into some spool queue somewhere strictly on your local machine, how do you do it? TIA for any info!! :) dan
