Actually, Emacs itself does not hang, but the sending process appears to
hang. I've waited 10 or 15 minutes, and the message in the mini-buffer
never changes and the operation never completes. (I've noticed on
another system that after the "Sending via mail..." message, the
mini-buffer displays other messages as the message is sent.)

I don't think it's using 100%, but it's using enough CPU that the Mac
keeps displaying the spinning beachball as I hover over the Emacs window.

Emacs isn't hung, but maybe there's some useful information somewhere
else?

Thanks very much!
