Subject: bug#2451: 23.0.90; rmail - semi-colon in rmail-primary-inbox-list and movemail
Date: Mon, 13 Apr 2009 05:51:54 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <E1LtIpW-0004b3-M5@fencepost.gnu.org> (raw)
Been trying to debug this, and the only thing I have managed to figure
out is that replacing the semi-colon with something else makes things
work. The following,
(call-process "/usr/bin/movemail" nil (current-buffer) nil
"pop://ams;AUTH=+APOP@fencepost.gnu.org" "/home/ams/.newmail-ams;AUTH=+APOP@fencepost.gnu.org" "PASSWORD")
always produces
movemail: Could not create mailbox `/home/ams/.newmail-ams;AUTH=+APOP@fencepost.gnu.org': Requested item not found
But if one replaces the semi-colon in the second argument
(/home/ams/.newmail-...) to movemail, things work.
Passing the same command line directly to bash works as well.
(How does one mark a bug as serious?)
