isolate hang in SMTP delivery

2018-04-06 Thread Daan van Rossum
Dear mutt devs,

I occasionally experience a perpetual hang in mutt when sending email using 
SMTP over an unstable connection (4G).

How can I best debug and isolate the cause of the issue?  Or would you 
recommend avoiding mutt's built-in SMTP functionality?

I use mutt 1.9.4.

Thanks, Daan

Mutt's implementation is pretty basic.  I personally would recommend
using a more robust tool if the connection is unstable (e.g. msmtp, or
even a built-in MTA).
