Does it work in 22.3? I can't see this syntax documented anywhere in "Retrieving Mail from Remote Mailboxes" in the manual. It worked a week ago, and it worked in 22.3, the syntax is for GNU mailutils to force apop (which is required to read mail from fencepost.gnu.org). The syntax is documented in (mailutils) URL, and in the emacs documentation it is documented under (emacs) Movemail (which refers to the mailutils documentation) How do you mark the bug so that it is not a wishlist? Not being able to read mail from the GNU mail server using rmail kinda sucks... > Though, I am getting weird errors from movemail (from mailutils): > > movemail: Cannot append message 2: Cannot allocate memory That would seem to be a mailutils problem, not an Emacs one. Yup, it is fixed upstream now. But the semi-colon error still occurs, and works fine if called with the same URL spec from the command line. Sorry for the late reply, but it is hard to read my mail now when I cannot fetch mail..
