Because I pulled a trick on RMS. He didn't want to include it in the core FSF Emacs distribution on its own (at the time the Win32 port was occouring on its own and the patches were not being folded into the main code tree). I got around that by getting Lars to include it in Gnus -- which *is* a part of GNU Emacs. | Hm. It appears that if some change is made to the Gnus distribution, | then the modified pop3.el will sometime end up in Emacs. Maybe someone | else can do the work if you don't want to. That doesn't work. The FSF had been ignoring the code I had been giving to Lars from around 1.3m. 1.3s was my last version, which counts for some 6 major bugs fixed that they did not fold into their code tree. I had a big argument with someone at the FSF last year over this. They finally did rewrite based on v1.3s, but there is stuff in there now that I just don't understand. If someone else wants to take over, then be my guest. But you have to go through the FSF for that. -- Rat \ If Happy Fun Ball begins to smoke, get Minion of Nathan - Nathan says Hi! \ away immediately.
