Subject: fix pop snarfing on Windows Rmail
Date: Wed, 20 Aug 2008 23:38:40 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <82r68jfh1r.fsf@FILTH.SHOOTYBANGBANG.COM> (raw)
I have a Windows machine where Rmail is configured like this:
(setq rmail-primary-inbox-list '("po:user:localhost"))
(setq rmail-remote-password-required t)
(setq rmail-remote-password "password")
and it didn't work to get any mail from the pop server.
Looks like this patch is needed:
2008-08-20 John Paul Wallington <jpw@pobox.com>
* mail/rmail.el (rmail-insert-inbox-text): Ensure that the
filename of `tofile' doesn't contain any colons on Windows
and Cygwin systems.
Index: rmail.el

I'll install it in a few days unless someone objects.
