Gnus can not send mail on Windows

[Leo]

Hi there,

I try to use gnutls-cli 2.6.3 with smtpmail in Emacs built from CVS
2008-12-14 in windows xp.

However, I have no success using it with smtpmail. I am getting (error
"Sending failed; SMTP protocol error") because smtpmail-via-smtp returns
nil. The SMTP session log shows that the response from smtp server ends
with *two* ^M causing the following code snippet in smtpmail-via-smtp to
fail.

(memq (if (consp name) (car name) name)
'(verb xvrb 8bitmime onex xone
expn size dsn
etrn
enhancedstatuscodes
help
xusr
auth=login
auth starttls))

The SMTP session log is as follows:

220 ppsw-6.csi.cam.ac.uk (smtp.hermes.cam.ac.uk [131.111.8.156]:587)
ESMTP Exim 4.70+ppsw+0 Sun, 14 Dec 2008 11:42:02 +0000^M

My setting works just fine with my Linux server. The cause of the
failure is the trailing ^M^M (if it is just one ^M it will work).
