Sometimes user and password are set (due to the macro that extracts them
from the mail source). In fact they were for me, that's why I didn't
notice the bug. I made a fix that should do the right thing; it may be
better to do it with macro facilities but I wanted to get the fix out
ASAP and I did it the simplest way possible (with boundp, symbol-value,
and unintern).
Thanks
