Suggestion: include epop to Emacs distribution

Suggestion: include epop to Emacs distribution

[Jari Aalto+mail.emacs]

	Hi,

	I would like to suggest that EPOP package would be included with
	the Emacs distribution. Epop is superior multiple POP account 
	handling package which works for major MUAs: RMAIL; VM, Gnus. I have
	been using succesfully it for almost a year now to read my 
	multiple pop accoutns for all development versions of gnus 
	during that time.
	
	To Ding list:
		
	I would also like to suggest that the pop support in Gnus, that 
	can currently handle only one pop account would be modified to
	support EPOP and multiple pop accounts.

I second this motion as I too have been using epop3 almost without any
problems (the only one being its not being able to handle type-ahead).  It
would be nice if someone could enhance it so that it could also delete
selective messages from the different POP3 hosts.

Cheers,
Karel

To Jari, Karel & all, I am at this very moment beta testing an
enhancement which will permit one to manage (i.e. selectively delete)
mail on pop3 servers.  I will probably post it soon to the NTemacs FAQ
page after (1) recovering from the new year festivities (2) hearing
from a couple of beta testers who likewise will need to recover from
new year festivities.

The same with me, I also use it since more than one year now with no
problems in RMAIL and Gnus on emacs 19.34.6 and 20.3.1.

The bad thing is it's not working with Xemacs :-(((
