Did you read the NT Emacs home page and FAQ? http://www.cs.washington.edu/homes/voelker/ntemacs.html is the old URL, which has a pointer to the new one. Gnus tries to call /usr/lib/sendmail by default, which probably doesn't exist on your NT system. But you can use smtpmail.el which lets Emacs directly speak SMTP to a mail server. kai -- I like BOTH kinds of music.
