Platform: UltraSPARC, Solaris 2.5.1, xemacs-19.34

Neither the Gnus manual, nor the Gnus FAQ, is very helpful on how to
go about using pop3.el instead of movemail.

I've just compiled xemacs-19.35, without whatever configure option
that turns on pop support in movemail, appearently.  At least the
setup that works on 19.34 doesn't work here.

I tried a quick "fix" consisting of copying the 19.34 movemail in over
the Xemacs 19.15 movemail... that didn't work.  Movemail appearently
complains about the response from the POP server.

Since I am messing about, I might as well try this pop3.el
thingy... but how...?

Rich...?  Maybe an entry for the FAQ, or something...?

Thanx!
