This is a weird one. I had Emacs email set up just the way I wanted it and it was working fine. Now, whenever I send an email (C-x m), it seems to turn the email address into a url request. If I mail a test message like this (some info redacted):
To: redacted@gmail.com
Subject: Test 3
From: Danny <danny@redacted.com>
--text follows this line--
Testing
Emacs displays the Google search page, I think using eww. The messages buffer also displays this:
Sending via mail...
Contacting host: gmail.com:80
Sending...done
Nothing in my config has changed and email was happily sending before yesterday. I still have my authinfo files in place.
I have a split MX. My domain is hosted by another provider but my email flows through gmail. It still works fine via the web interface.
I wonder if something changed on the gmail side.
Has anyone else had this problem?

Sooo, I had commented out all the text in my init file that handled email, apparently as part of an experiment that I hadn't cleaned up. That included (require 'smtpmail). SMH.
On the upside, it was M-x debug-on-entry that helped me work it out, so I guess I learned something while making a fool of myself today :-)
