This is something I tried to avoid since I initially wanted RMS to include pop3 in the main distribution (he declined, citing 'lack of modularity'). Then again, md5sum is not a standard in all operating systems that Emacs runs on :). -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.3 Charset: noconv iQCVAwUBMgC1856VRH7BJMxHAQH1jAP+JKv9vxj9tQEZWwY7ptjC2J6r/KnXkVpv Jqagg55JN+vTT/2mOhhZTbo/QpBLqi4cv7+EY2tY0R82uAmE0NM4Qatag40gYhrW 11eH+EEu8PIlb9GusCLHEFsN3htV/JSWCCzDmzk+MYBu0UCyM2FBhPepB5X8VPUJ 0nNiPFHtlm4= =BQzD -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Richard Pieri/Information Services \ Never sleep alone when you can sleep on \ someone's face. -A cat's guide to life http://www.dfci.harvard.edu/ \
