The Emacs etags man page also lists -m as a synonym for --members, but
their etags also fails to recognize it.  That is because we both get our
etags from an upstream source.  Would you please report this problem to
Francesco <pot at gnu.org>.  I don't know how to type his surname on a TTY
(I'm remotely logged in from a place where a remote X connection would
be too painful), but you can find it in lib-src/etags.c.

Set or customize send-mail-function to 'smtpmail-send-it.
