Gnus v5.6.43 XEmacs 21.0 "Pyrenean-pre2" [Lucid] (i586-pc-cygwin32) of Mon Oct 12 1998 on ARMAGEDON 200 red.parallax.co.uk NNTPcache server V1.0.7.1 Oct 31 1997 ready (posting ok). I would appreciate it if this patch could be applied to gnus. It simply allows extra arguments to be given to movemail. I use it to selectively download mail using pop. The enhanced movemail should appear in an XEmacs of the future (21.2?). The patch is harmless without it. cheers, andy diff -c /usr/gnu/lib/xemacs/packages/lisp/gnus/nnmail.el~ /usr/gnu/lib/xemacs/packages/lisp/gnus/nnmail.el *** /usr/gnu/lib/xemacs/packages/lisp/gnus/nnmail.el~ Mon Oct 05 16:24:37 1998 --- /usr/gnu/lib/xemacs/packages/lisp/gnus/nnmail.el Mon Oct 05 16:24:37 1998 *************** *** 243,248 **** --- 243,255 ---- :group 'nnmail-retrieve :type 'string) + (defcustom nnmail-movemail-args nil + "*Extra arguments to give to `nnmail-movemail-program' to move mail from the inbox. + The default is nil" + :group 'nnmail-files + :group 'nnmail-retrieve + :type 'string) + (defcustom nnmail-pop-password-required nil "*Non-nil if a password is required when reading mail using POP." :group 'nnmail-retrieve *************** *** 641,647 **** nnmail-movemail-program exec-directory) nil errors nil inbox tofile) (when nnmail-internal-password !
