I know.  I searched through the code and found pop3-movemail, which is
supposed to do the apop thing, provided that the authentication scheme
is properly set.  But nothing calls pop3-movemail, and it's not quite
the right format for nnmail-movemail-program (which can take a function
with two arguments -- pop3-movemail takes only one) and I can't figure
out the setq command to set a variable equal to a function anyway.

I'm not a moron.  I'm in the way beginning of learning Emacs Lisp,
though, and delving into alpha code for something as large and imposing
as Red Gnus is a bit exciting.
