My `return-confirmation' emails get bounced at that news-group. The development emacs-27 version recently changed the default character seen when entering a password from `.' to `*'. I want to get back to the old default, but (let (read-hide-char) "?.") does not work, and my e-lisp knowledge is insufficient to understand the reason. What am I doing wrong? Thanks. Colin.
