The pop3.el is FSF Emacs distribution is definitely not the same as pop3.el in standalone Gnus distribution. The former is infested with coding-systems, which Stailness Steel Rat disapproves of. -- Hrvoje Niksic <hniksic@srce.hr> | Student at FER Zagreb, Croatia --------------------------------+-------------------------------- 4.

Sorry. It's only in my local copy. I thought Lars had merged this from the Emacs 20.3 version, which I reckoned might avoid grief. I don't know if it does avoid it, as I haven't had to use POP yet. BTW, it looks as though `file-name-coding-system' still needs binding too, whereever `path-name-coding-system' is.

As > far as it is concerned, messages are data. Maybe so, but it can make a difference anyway. I fixed any multibyte problems when using pop3.el by binding coding-system-for-read to 'binary in pop3-open-server. I also bound it in pop3-read-response, but subsequent research shows that that is probably not necessary. -- Michael Duggan (md5i@cs.cmu.edu) . ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 7+ messages in thread
