That was the answer to my trouble.  I remember wpasupplicant being
updated in unstable in about March, and /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf and
/etc/default/wpasupplicant being removed.  I couldn't for the life of me
find where the configuration had gone.  Following a recent system
reinstall my troubles began.

The working file is as follows:

tim at debian:~$ more /etc/network/interfaces
# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).

# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# The primary network interface
allow-hotplug eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp

allow-hotplug wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
wpa-driver wext
wpa-ssid goodview
wpa-psk ***(hexadecimal)***

Kel, thank you so much for that, and to Reinhard, I'm forever grateful
to you both!  This is now being sent through my own ISP's smtp server.

Tim
