Hello.

I am using Gnus-5.4 on Emacs/Mule comfotably.
But I found a problem pop3.el write files with
the default coding system.

I set the buffer-file-coding-system to japanese-shift-jis-dos.
So crashbox is written with this coding system.

I apply this patch to pop3.el to resolve it.
Could you use this patch officially?

Thank you.

No offense, but you don't seem to care about any patches which doesn't
directly apply what you are using it for. I thinking about my patch
which allows you do deny downloading of large files, if you want. This
is something which others might want as well, I would guess.

Do you have any specific reason for this or do you just feel like
discouraging people from developing pop3.el?
