Indeed, mutt + msmtp appear to be fine... My bad for not being clearer... However, there is a correlation that goes beyond credible coincidence: the disconnection happens when (and, as far as I can recall, only when) I use mutt + msmtp to send sizeable files. In particular, no disconnection occurs when I'm not using mutt + msmtp, or when I use mutt + msmtp but I send emails without sizeable attachments. Also, the disconnection happens within seconds of attempting to send the sizeable emails. I guess it is a problem with the wireless card, but it seems to be somehow closely linked to the event of trying to send sizeable emails using mutt + msmtp (when I use thunderbird to send the files, everything works as expected, no disconnection). > You could feasibly work around it by using a wired connection, or take a > look at what is going on with your wireless. My work around, for now, is to use thunderbird for sending large emails, so there's no hurry. But I'm a bit puzzled about what's happening.
