Don't worry, it was just a suggestion ;-)

One disadvantage of using `darcs send` is that if you call it without
any other option, the mail subject doesn't include the repository, so
you don't know to which BESE software the patch should be applied :-(

Strange, on No Gnus 0.4 + GNU Emacs CVS your mail is correctly
threaded, I mean, I don't see it as part of the "bese continuations"
topic.  But on the web archive [1] is like your situation.

I don't own a Mac, but I checked on two OS X (Panther 10.3.9 and Tiger
10.4.2): both have Postfix installed, but not running by default.  So,
you don't have any `darcs send` error because the mail is sent to
Postfix, but as the last is not running, it's in the queue (check with
the command `mailq` on a terminal).  You should enable Postfix to
deliver mails and then `darcs send` should work as expected.

This should be asked to Marco ;-)

You're welcome.

BTW, please, don't top-post [2] :-)

Thx, bye,
