not able to send mail with message.el from release of emacs v.22

[dont-send-any-spams-to-me]

Hi, there.

Changing to emacs v.22 and the included version of Gnus: v.5.11

Using message.el from the release of emacs v.22 from june fails.  I
can compose messages as normal, and there are no error messages after
sending mails, but no mails are actually sent anywhere.

Loading an old message.elc instead (compiled for 21.4, anno 2003) does
send mails, but occassionaly hits some errors (like when using
'gnus-summary-resend-message and probably others).

Ive tried using various releases of gnus, pgnus etc. without luck, and
old versions of message.el from CVS, but havent succeeded in finding a
solution yet.

Anyone have a clue?
