Re: Imap Problem

[Jake Colman <colman@ppllc.com>]

Sorry to follow-up my own postings but we have a problem.

I went back to my prior version of pgnus, prior to Simon's commits, and
manually applied on my Matt's one line change to imap.el.  With this patch
applied, I cannot start gnus in its own frame.  if I do, the password
prompting is messed up and it eats my CR instead of processing the password.
So this problem is specifically related to Matt's portion of the patch and
was not caused by whatever else Simon patched.

I'l let my gnus rest over the course of the day and see if it continues to
work.  In the meantime, I am working with latest cvs version of gnus.
