Subject: bug#28597: 26.0.60; [Security] Configure should use --without-pop by default
Date: Tue, 26 Sep 2017 10:22:04 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <acbc4442-5045-6ecf-e17c-2e007dba0f85@cs.ucla.edu> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <87fubaq0dl.fsf@moondust.localdomain>

As Glenn noted, the 'configure' message N. mentions came from an uneasy 
compromise between worry about the default lack-of-security in Emacs, 
and worry about backward compatibility (see Bug#26102). Although I favor 
making --without-pop the default, at this point it's really an issue for 
the two maintainers to decide.
