A quick look at 2.03 (the version with XEmacs 21.1.4 that I have) indicates that there are numerous fixes in 1.3 that have not been rolled into 2.0. Of note: Content-Length headers are not generated, no coding-system fixes, no unwind-protects around pop3-movemail's guts to help it fall out more gracefully on an error condition, a simple fix for a problem caused by Win32's different line termination is not there, nor is the fix for a problem with VMS caused by % characters. I am copying Andy on this to let him know that due to both the FSF and XEmacs people (him in particular because he has assumed control on behalf of XEmacs) neglecting to inform me of code changes I have given up maintaining pop3.el, and that the code he is maintaining is critically flawed. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v0.9.10 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE3yZ1Vgl+vIlSVSNkRAu/1AKDBZf59eP65yNpv5t4hH/K0iuwySACg/cfD oxxZZBhxJ3fvuB6cV5FOlYs= =SfoN -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Rat \ Warning: pregnant women, the elderly, and Minion of Nathan - Nathan says Hi! \ children under 10 should avoid prolonged PGP Key: at a key server near you! \ exposure to Happy Fun Ball.
