Yes, with the "send mail (with sendmail)" menu, and my sendmail is still
working.

I never directly use /usr/bin/mail to send email, but sendmail instead,
which goes through my ISP Smart Host.

Ok, I guess this is the mode that you are talking about:
Message mode:
Major mode for editing mail and news to be sent.
But why I get into this via the "send mail (with *gnus message*)" menu?
BTW, I don't have the gnus package installed, and hope not as well.
