I don't know whether either of these changes is globally a Good Thing,
or whether they're implemented in the best way, but I find them
essential and herewith present them for you to accept, improve, or
discard.
This is a patch to Red Gnus 0.80. I'm running GNU Emacs 19.34.1 under
Win95.
There are two changes in this patch. In order of appearance:
1. Ask for the password only once. Perhaps this should be modified to
throw it out if movemail signals a bad password error.
2. Put quotes around the password. In rgnus-0.80, if your password is
"holy smoke", only "holy" will be passed to movemail. This may not
be a problem on other systems.
