bug with pop3/ssl and capabilities

bug with pop3/ssl and capabilities

[Denys Duchier]

I am using gnus (from the git repository) in emacs 24 (from the bzr
repository).  my mail source is a pop3 server on port 995 (i.e. :stream
ssl) which supports the CAPA command.  yet, opening the server gets
stuck unless, in pop3-open-server, I comment out the line:

    :capability-command "CAPA\r\n"

when it is stuck and I ^G out of it, the " trace of POP session to ..."
buffer contains:

+OK Dovecot ready.
+OK
CAPA
TOP
UIDL
RESP-CODES
PIPELINING
USER
SASL PLAIN
.

which looks alright to me.  I don't know how to debug this.  Any ideas?

Cheers,

Does your Dovecot not include \r on the lines?

it does. however, looking at the code again, I realized that it is in
fact:

	     :end-of-command "^\\(-ERR\\|+OK \\).*\n"

which must be replaced by:

	     :end-of-command "^\\(-ERR\\|+OK\\).*\n"

I tried it, and it worked with capabilities back on.

Thanks; I've now applied this to No Gnus.
