Tries to send mail with firefox

[henry atting]

Maybe someone here can give me a hint to solve this problem:

Since some days mu4e tries to send mail with firefox. My mu4e config has not changed. The OS is debian, which should be not to important since mu4e should read its own config and not any system settings. Whatever, I have no idea what system setting this could be, anyway, and I have no idea what causes this weird behaviour.

Ah, mu4e tries to execute `browse-url-generic-program'. Why? How can I stop this?

Check if you can set this setting in emacs:

Mmh, sorry, but I do not get it. Why should I try to tinker with any of these settings? In fact I want to keep it as it is. `browse-url-generic-program` is set to `firefox`. which is exactly what I want; in other words I want to open links in emacs (e.g. with browse-url-at-point) with firefox. What I do not want is mu4e to call firefox when I hit `C-c C-c` in a mu4e mail buffer to send this mail.

What does `C-c C-c`

It causes emacs to execute, as I said, `browse-url-generic`, in my case firefox, though in the mode-line mu4e pretends `mail sent' (which is not the case).

But... this is the past!

I dropped  `setq send-mail-function 'smtpmail-send-it`. And set:
(setq message-send-mail-function 'message-send-mail-with-sendmail
    sendmail-program "/usr/bin/msmtp"
    user-full-name "...")
Now it works fine again, as before. I don't understand it, but anyway. (Sigh of relief! Though mu4e is a bit fragile it seems indispensable for me.)
