Subject: pop3 password from ~/.authinfo
Date: Fri, 23 Mar 2007 22:38:46 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <v9r6rffxnd.fsf@marauder.physik.uni-ulm.de> (raw)

Hi,

there's code from Kai Großjohann to pt POP3 passwords in ~/.authinfo:

<http://search.gmane.org/?query=gnus%20authinfo%20pop&group=gmane.emacs.gnus.*>

,----[ <news:86vfcvxdzh.fsf@ketchup.de.uu.net> ]
| (setq mail-sources `(... (pop :server "foo" :user "bar"
|                               :passwd ,(pw-from-authinfo)) ...))
| 
| (defun pw-from-authinfo ()
|  [...]
`----

,----[ http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.gnus.user/8170/focus=8194 ]
| (defun pw-from-authinfo (popserver)
|   (require 'nntp)
|   (let* ((x (netrc-parse nntp-authinfo-file))
|          (item (netrc-machine x popserver))
|          (pw (netrc-get item "password")))
|     pw)) 
`----

People asked why this is not included in Gnus proper.  Could anyone
using POP3 check the code an include (and document) it if it's good?

Bye, Reiner.
