I tried compiling this on both GNU emacs, and XEmacs, and both places, I've gotten the message: ** the function vm-pop-move-mail is not known to be defined. both places, when byte compiling the .gnus.el file. The VM directory, is in load-path. I've also tried using (require 'vm-pop) with the same response when byte compiling. The reason I'm doing this, is that I haven't been able to run movemail with POP, on XEmacs, and since I run demonical mail fetch, I can't use pop3.el, because it asks for the password each time it fetches the mail (or can I...? How does this apop stuff work? Does it negotiate a session key? I think not, if I remember correctly, from the POP3 RFC. Will I have to maintain a list of clear text "secrets" on the POP3 server, to use APOP? (But for the time being, I'm back to Gnus in GNU Emacs 19.34, which works fine, with movemail/POP, and demonical mail fetch. I just want better support for richer mail content (inline images, and the like)) - Steinar
