Re: [h-e-w] Problem sending mail w/ Gnus

Thanks. This change helped considerably but did not eliminate the problem
completely. I know that sounds strange but it only failed about 1 out of 20
tries.

I had a different (but equally peculiar) problem with sending mail from
Emacs about a year ago:

http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/help-emacs-windows/2002-10/msg00111.html

Here's the patch I came up with - it's so small and simple, it's worth a
try, even if it's just a shot in the dark (please respond back to the list
if it works for you, though)
