Subject: Re: POP support in VM
X-Mailer: VM 6.26 under 20.1 XEmacs Lucid (beta15)

I was browsing through configure and I found the option --with-pop
which defines MAIL_USE_POP so that movemail.c will use POP.  this is
nice.  when I ran configure, I got this message:

  Using the Athena dialog boxes.
./configure:   Using POP for mail access: command not found
  Compiling in extra code for debugging.

looking at the code in configure I found this:

   7204 test "$with_dialogs"    = athena3d && echo "  Using the Athena-3d dialog boxes."
   7205 test "$with_pop"        = yes && "  Using POP for mail access"
   7206 test "$with_kerberos"   = yes && "  Using Kerberos for POP authentication"
   7207 test "$with_hesiod"     = yes && "  Using Hesiod to get POP server host"
   7208
   7209 test "${use_union_type}"     = yes && echo "  Using the union type for Lisp_Objects."
 
looks like there are a few missing echo's on lines 7205-7207.
