Hi,
I have
(pop :server "localhost" :port 2022
:user "username" :password "password")
there is ssh port-forwarding running on localhost port 2022. When there is
no ssh running, mail-source.el does:
(unless (yes-or-no-p
(format "Mail source %s error (%s). Continue? "
source
(cadr err)))
(error "Cannot get new mail"))
And happily displays my password on the screen. I do not want other people
think that I'm dumb as hell and wrote my passwords in cleartext to files on
my system :-))
Please remove :password from the displayed text if it is present.
