gnus cvs from about 1000 UTC this morning, GNU Emacs 20.7.1
(i586-pc-linux-gnu, X toolkit) of Thu Jun 22 2000 on g.wolfram.com.
Perhaps the url has changed? This is the start of it:

Deja.com changed email service providers. See
<url:http://www.deja.com/email_switch.shtml>:
,----
| In an effort to better serve your e-mail needs, we'll be switching
| our My Deja e-mail service to a new provider on Sep 25, 2000. One
| of the major benefits of this move will be an improvement in the
| delivery time of your e-mail.
|
| <...snip...>
`----
Perhaps something broke webmail.el when they changed services.
Also, after doing a fresh checkout, configure and make from cvs
sources, gnus/lisp/webmail.el remains uncompiled. Is that intentional?
Cheers -

My-Deja changes its HTML formats a lot. :-(

It is because w3 is not in the load-path. You may use
configure --with-w3=/the/w3/path

my-deja has changed *again*! Which of the sites supported by webmail
seems to be the most stable?
Thanks -

Fixed.

You could use POP3 to access Yahoo mails (after sign up the option).
It doesn't depend on webmail.el .

Hey - that's nifty.
,----[ ~/.gnus ]
| [...]
| (setq mail-sources
| '((file :path "/var/spool/mail/billw")
| (pop :server "pop.mail.yahoo.com"
| :user "myusername"

| :dontexpunge nil)))

After a restart of emacs and gnus, gnus hangs/waits after loading
pop3.el, probably because I'm behind a firewall. Is there some
straightforward way to access a pop server thru a firewall?
Thanks -

I have a primitive package to workaround the firewall by advising
open-network-steam. I haven't tested many features, but to access
POP3/NNTP via HTTP tunnel works. It is at
http://www.cs.rochester.edu/u/zsh/hacks/firewall.el

dl'd and installed...
Here's my firewall and mail-sources setup:
,----[ ~/.gnus ]
| (add-to-list 'load-path "/billw/emacs/emacs-lisp/shenghuo-zhu")
| (require 'firewall)
|
| ; First, you need setup
| (setq firewall-gateway-host "proxy.wolfram.com")
| (setq firewall-gateway-port 8080)
| (ad-activate 'open-network-stream)
| ;;; 4. http
| (setq firewall-gateway-function-list
| '(firewall-gateway-send-connect
| firewall-gateway-wait-http))
|
| [...]
|
| (setq mail-sources
| '((file :path "/var/spool/mail/billw")
| (pop :server "pop.mail.yahoo.com"
| :user "myusername"
| :password "mypassword"
| :dontexpunge nil)))
| [...]
`----
It looks like a connection is successfully established, but I get a
"Timeout!", probably from from firewall-gateway-wait-http.
Here's the POP trace buffer:
,----[ buffer " trace of POP session to pop.mail.yahoo.com" ]
| HTTP/1.0 200 Connection established
|
| +OK hello from popgate
`----
The reply from yahoo seems to be different from what's expected in
firewall-gateway-wait-http:
,----[ firewall.el ]
| (defun firewall-gateway-wait-http (proc host service)
| (firewall-wait-for-string "HTTP.* 200 OK\r*\n\r*\n" proc)
| (delete-region (point-min) (point))
| nil)
`----
Am I on the right path? Any thoughts?
Thanks for all your help!

The proxy returns a different message. Anyway, you may change the
function as the following or get a new version at the URL.
(defun firewall-gateway-wait-http (proc host service)
(firewall-wait-for-string "HTTP.* 200 .*\r*\n\r*\n" proc)
(delete-region (point-min) (point))
nil)
