Subject: pop :program change
Date: 03 Feb 1999 17:08:32 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <m3g18nsc5b.fsf@quimbies.gnus.org> (raw)
More flexibility is needed when specifying programs to move mail, so
I've made a tiny format-spec library that allows one to specify this
in a more convenient way. So people who have used :program before
will experience breakage in 0.76.
Quoth the new manual:
`:program'
The program to use to fetch mail from the POP server. This
is should be a `format'-like string. Here's an example:
fetchmail %u@%s -P %p %t
The valid format specifier characters are:
`t'
The name of the file the mail is to be moved to. This
must always be included in this string.
`s'
The name of the server.
`P'
The port number of the server.
`u'
The user name to use.
`p'
The password to use.
The values used for these specs are taken from the values you
give the corresponding keywords.
