A pass phrase is raw data, not text. It should not be treated as something a human can read. It should -never- be smashed through any coding system. Something you should be aware of before applying any patches: pop3.el is maintained directly by the FSF since they forked it in 1999 and never bothered to tell me about it. It is part of Emacs, not Gnus. All changes need to go through the FSF; but your XEmacs code will most probably be stripped. XEmacs has a vastly different fork that incorporates much of Franklin Lee's work but will never be merged into the FSF's code tree. Wrapping APOP auth with reasonable advice may be the sanest thing to do. It certainly requires the least ammount of new code. -- Rat \ Do not taunt Happy Fun Ball.
