pgnus 0.77, mail-source :function

pgnus 0.77, mail-source :function

[Jack Vinson]

It used to be the case that if nnmail-movemail-program was an elisp
function it would be called with two arguments: the inbox, and the tobox.

The current version of mail-source only passes the tobox argument to the
function.  Again, is there a good reason for this?  I had been using
epop3mail to pick up my mail and it wants to get the inbox and tobox as
arguments.  (Why would I write a movemail function that only took the tobox
as an argument anyway?)  I realize that I can write a wrapper function that
will pass the correct variables, but I want Gnus to do it right the first
time.

No, the current current version allows the user to specify the
:program fully, and you can pass anything you want to it.  Kinda.

Sorry, I may not have been clear.  I want to use :function, as I have a
different /elisp/ function that I want to call.  In Gnus 5.7 (and
pgnus-0.72) one can set the nnmail-movemail-program to anything that takes
two variables: inbox, tobox.

You can use :function to specify a function to be used.
