2008-12-11 Thread gustav
If you still use Emacs' original Rmail with POP under Cygwin, you may have noticed that it doesn't work. The reason is that Rmail tries to create a file with a ":" in its name, which Cygwin can't do. A simple remedy is to edit rmail.el as follows: *** /usr/share/emacs/21.2/lisp/mail/rmail.elF
