Is anyone successfully running a version of pgnus newer than v0.72 with NTEmacs
20.3.1? I tried v0.77 just now: with my old nnmail-spool-file value
("po:alfred") I get errors just trying to establish a POP connection (port =
"pop" doesn't work for me). If I switch to the new syntax and explicitly set
values:
((pop :user "alfred"
:server "globeset.com"
:port 110
:program "movemail"
:args "po:alfred"
))
pgnus successfully initializes (i.e., no errors) but I can't fetch any mail (I
always get "no news is good gnus" ...). Pgnus v0.72 still works fine for me.

I'm using .76 without problems you describe. .77 failed in the exact
same way for me though. I am not sure if there are more changes to
nnmail-spool-file that happened or not (I haven't investigated and
dropped back to .77 for now).

The symptoms were a bit different here, also I'm using XEmacs 21.2
(not NT emacs) but I had difficulties running pgnus .77 (it failed to
initialize) till I replaced pop3.el(c) from the pgnus distribution
with a pop3.el (newer) version 2.03 from the mail-lib
packages. FWIW...

I can confirm that pgnus-0.77 also fails to get mail from the pop server
under XEmacs 21.0.63 and 21.2.10 Beta under NT.
Downgrading to 0.76 get back the pop functionality

I reported this to bugs, but there's a problem with pop fetching
generally with 0.77. Towards the end of mail-source-fetch, there's
code like (+ found (funcall function source callback)).
The funcall is now returning nil for pop sources, and (+ 0 nil)
can't eval, so I get the mail downloaded, but the finishing of the
download gets aborted by lisp bombing out here.
This sounds like a different error than the NT folks are seeing tho.

:args is no longer used -- instead :program takes format-like specs
like %t and %p. The manual describes this, and then gives an example
using :args. *sigh* :-)
