I read 'pop3-movemail' differently, IMHO "QUIT" is | always sent to the server (look at the placement of the call to | 'pop3-quit'). Positive. I wrote it, after all :). I checked; unwind-protect does not mask C-g. If you press C-g while inside pop3-movemail before pop3-quit then pop3-quit will not be evaluated and QUIT will not be sent. pop3-quit will also not be reached if the server reports an error during the retrieval process (returns a -ERR code). Either of these conditions will force a halt. There will almost certainly be a message sitting in the retr process buffer or the crashbox staging buffer, but if so then the message will not be marked for deletion and should remain on the server. All previous messages will be in the crashbox. All of this applies to stock pop3.el. I cannot say about the FSF or XEmacs versions; I don't understand most of the changes in those two forks. -- Rat \ Ingredients of Happy Fun Ball include an Minion of Nathan - Nathan says Hi! \ unknown glowing substance which fell to PGP Key: at a key server near you! \ Earth, presumably from outer space.
