hi all...
i just downloaded rgnus 0.66 and tried it out and found that something
that was working the last time i remembered is not working now....
i have the following code in my .gnus to remember my pop password but
i get the following error message...
(setq gnus-secondary-select-methods '((nnml "")))
(setq nnmail-spool-file "po:scc-ak")
(setq nnmail-pop-password-required t)
;; remember POP password once given at startup
(autoload 'ange-ftp-read-passwd "ange-ftp")
(if (not nnmail-pop-password)
(setq nnmail-pop-password
(ange-ftp-read-passwd "Enter POP password: ")))
i get the following error:
Signaling: (error "Error in ~/.gnus: (void-variable
nnmail-pop-password)")
now i thought i remembered from a post of Lars that this was supposed
to be fixed in rgnus... i there for commented out the
nnmail-pop-password references in regards to ange-ftp but the password
does not get remembered...
so... what am i doing wrong here... :)
any help is appreciated...
cheers,
andreas

The problem is that nnmail hasn't been loaded yet, so the
variable nnmail-pop-password doesn't exist. Also, rgnus now has it's
own password reader which uses 'passwd' under xemacs and 'ange-ftp'
otherwise. So you do this to use to get save the password once. The
important bit is the check for nnmail-pop-password being bound.
(autoload 'nnmail-read-passwd "nnmail")
(unless (and (boundp nnmail-pop-password)
nnmail-pop-password)
(setq nnmail-pop-password
(nnmail-read-passwd "Enter POP password: ")))
