Whew, I'm glad that was all the confusion was about. Incidentally, I  
should re-iterate that I am not entirely happy with the way Slate  
handles inheritance; that basically we have been working from the  
Self model and customizing it as we go.

No, it didn't. The send command usually needs a mail daemon running  
on your local system to send the email itself.

However, "darcs send -o" will make a file with the patches in it  
which you can manually attach, and that's usually what I recommend/use.
