Chassell" writes: ...there is currently no way to specify multiple passwords non-interactively. Please implement this feature actually the code posted does indeed support this usage, although it is not a very clean interface (IMO), and hence left undocumented to allow a freer hand to change it based on the outcome of this discussion. basically, you can evaluate: (rmail-set-pop-password PASSWORD-1 HOST-1) (rmail-set-pop-password PASSWORD-2 HOST-2) ... where each HOST-N appears in `rmail-primary-inbox-list'. although this works, it is ugly to me because it requires the user to synchronize host names in two places. on the other hand, that may not be such a big deal in practice, and in fact, this scheme makes it easy to place such forms in a separate chmod go-rwx file (i.e., a security feature of sorts). what do you think of `rmail-pop-password-required' being allowed to name a file containing (HOST . PASSWORD) pairs? this file would be (re-)read at the appropriate times, and after `M-x rmail-set-pop-password RET RET'. i chose pairs deliberately to limit the generality of this file -- this goes back to my reluctance at getting into Gnus-ish design/impl territory. thi
