I've placed in my .emacs file something like: (setq url-proxy-services '(("no_proxy" . "work\\\\.com") ("http" . ":@:"))) and the first time I try to refresh the package list I got prompted for the username, that is the same I specified, and for the password, and then a generic error "unable to download package gnu" appears. Then I try to download and install a package, I'm prompted again for username and password for the proxy (and this time the username is the one I'm running emacs within, not the one specified in the configuration file) and Emacs still gives me an error that cannot download: "Error during download request: proxy authentication required". Any idea? Thanks, Luca
