Re: pop/sendmail with progress information?

I have this in my .gnus.el:

;; Using POP3:
(setq nnmail-spool-file "po:nwalsh")
(setq pop3-password "mypassword")
(setq nnmail-movemail-program 'nnmail-pop3-movemail)
(setenv "MAILHOST" "mymailhost.mydomain.com")

;; Not using POP3: (using my own home-grown, compressing download system ;-)
;(setq nnmail-spool-file "~/.incoming/mail.spool")
;(if (equal system-type 'windows-nt)
;    (setq nnmail-movemail-program 
;	  "m:/emacs-19.34/bin/movemail.exe"))

And now it works.

                                        Cheers,
                                          norm
