One problem I have encountered is occasional emacs hangs while retrieving mail over POP/TLS. I believe this may be related to the confusion over the third argument of accept-process-output - no-one is quite sure whether it is milliseconds or microseconds (see ). pop3-accept-process-output thinks it is milliseconds; I'm using emacs 21.4.1 which thinks it is microseconds. I changed the scaling factor in pop3-accept-process-output from 1000 to 1000000, and the hangs seem to have gone away. Would a patch that introduces a compatibility wrapper around accept-process-output (similar to slime-accept-process-output in SLIME), and converts existing uses over throughout Gnus, be accepted?
