My MAILHOST environment variable is empty.
I start emacs with `emacsclient -ta "" foo'.
`M-x getenv MAILHOST' = ''
I start Gnus with `M-x gnus'; Gnus fetches mail from two pop servers as
defined in my .gnus.el file.
`M-x getenv MAILHOST' = 'pop.eastlink.ca'
pop servers definitions:
mail-sources
'(
(pop
:server "pop.eastlink.ca"
:user "my-blacked-out-user-name1"
:password "my-blacked-password1")
(pop
:server "pop.mail.yahoo.ca"
:user "my-blacked-out-user-name2"
:password "my-blacked-password2"))
I believe MAILHOST is set in mail-source.el in mail-source-fetch-pop. I
don't know why it needs to be set if I am using pop3.el .
The reason that this is a problem for me is that future mail from my
local user appear as `From: monte@pop.eastlink.ca' .

Maybe setting MAILHOST is necessary for a user who uses a movemail
program that is not that of pop3.el. But it should be needed only
when running that program. So, I'd like to modify the pop3.el code
so that it binds MAILHOST temporarily. A patch for Emacs 24.3 is
below. Could others review it? (I'm going to commit it only to
the trunk.)

It might be simpler to let-bind process-environment?

Ah, thanks.
(shell-command-to-string "echo -n $MAILHOST")
=> ""
(let* ((server "mail.example.com")
(process-environment (append (list (concat "MAILHOST=" server))
process-environment)))
(shell-command-to-string "echo -n $MAILHOST"))
=> "mail.example.com"
(let* ((server nil)
(process-environment (append (list (concat "MAILHOST=" server))
process-environment)))
(shell-command-to-string "echo -n $MAILHOST"))
=> ""
I've done it in this way.

Oops, it should also have been:
(setenv "MAILHOST" "mail.example.com")
(let* ((server nil)
(process-environment (if server
(append (list (concat "MAILHOST=" server))
process-environment)
process-environment)))
(shell-command-to-string "echo -n $MAILHOST"))
=> "mail.example.com"
Fixed.

Also known as (cons (concat "MAILHOST=" server) process-environment)
