I'm going through my old testers@ mail that hasn't gotten replies to that
list... Sounds like this was addressed by andersk in Ubuntu bug #348865,
which was fixed on April 15. I can no longer reproduce jhawk's or price's
test cases.
jhawk, I'm hoping this fixes the fact that M-x mail could fail silently;
could you check this?
