mail source changes

[Simon Josefsson]

How do I tell the new mail source stuff to use movemail?

I tried `(setq nnmail-spool-file '((pop)))' but it started questioning
me for a password and then seemed to use the elisp POP stuff, I don't
want that.

My movemail program fetch my mail with Kerberos POP. Since people
could want to use fetchmail or other programs that fetch their mail,
perhaps we could have a mail source that looked something like this?

(setq nnmail-spool-file '((program :program "zlirkonf"
				   :args "-blahonga gronk ~/mymail"
				   :file "~/mymail")))

Or am I missing something?   (Documentation perhaps :-))

Erm, uhm.

Yes, that sounds like a good idea.

And there should also be a :function that would name a Lisp function
to be used.

I don't think the :file keyword is needed, though.

Fix in Pterodactyl Gnus v0.75.

So ordinary movemail would be

(setq nnmail-spool-file '((ppop :program "movemail"
				 :args "po:larsi")))

Or I could do format specs and stuff in the args, but that sounds like 
way too much work.
