I think the basic source of the problem for me is that mail-source now calls movemail like this: (call-process shell-file-name nil nil nil shell-command-switch "movemail user@server tofile password") However, nnmail used to call-process movemail directly: (apply 'call-process (append (list (expand-file-name nnmail-movemail-program exec-directory) nil errors nil inbox tofile) (when nnmail-internal-password (list nnmail-internal-password)) (when nnmail-movemail-args nnmail-movemail-args))) This difference seems to be critical for those poor saps who are stuck on NT boxes. I thought that it might have something to do with the function that is the shell-file-name, but it seems to be set correctly and hasn't given me trouble with other code. The big question is _why_ is there this difference in the calling structures. -- Jack Vinson http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~vinson/ Zippy: I like the way ONLY their mouths move..
