hi all...

i just downloaded rgnus 0.66 and tried it out and found that something
that was working the last time i remembered is not working now....

i have the following code in my .gnus to remember my pop password but
i get the following error message...


(setq gnus-secondary-select-methods '((nnml "")))
(setq nnmail-spool-file "po:scc-ak")
(setq nnmail-pop-password-required t)

;; remember POP password once given at startup

(autoload 'ange-ftp-read-passwd "ange-ftp")
(if (not nnmail-pop-password)
    (setq nnmail-pop-password
	  (ange-ftp-read-passwd "Enter POP password: ")))

i get the following error:

Signaling: (error "Error in ~/.gnus: (void-variable
		nnmail-pop-password)")

now i thought i remembered from a post of Lars that this was supposed
to be fixed in rgnus... i there for commented out the
nnmail-pop-password references in regards to ange-ftp but the password
does not get remembered...

so... what am i doing wrong here... :)

any help is appreciated...

cheers,
andreas
