I think we should change the name. Our function's whole point is to
obviate the need for any system-specific getpass(), so we shouldn't

Just to close out this thread, I have committed a getpass() which Glenn
Burkhardt and I have been working on. It solves the problem of other
programs interfacing with nmh, such as exmh, as well as guaranteeing the
implementation of that function.

Works fine on AIX 4.1.5.0.01. I cleaned up four compiler warnings produced
by gcc -Wall. One of them required adding an #include of stdlib.h, and
this required me to change getpass() to take a const char* rather than a
char*, to match the system prototype. Is this how getpass() is declared

think the TODO mentions some other functions, like snprintf, which aren't

Yeah, if we _ever_ use the system functions, as we do

No, I didn't commit it before. Probably for the best, as Doug pointed
out the GPL-ness of it. I'm hoping to have a working version committed

My solution was to completely take out any dependency on system ruserpass,
and use the version packaged with nmh. If you want to take advantage of
this, I recommend you get the latext CVS version.
I think that this is the best solution - it gets my vote!
Last November, I submitted a bug report with patches for nmh - it didn't work
as a POP client properly on Linux systems. But unfortunately, the patches
didn't get into the 1.0.4 release, so here goes again:
I had the same problems, and fixed them after 1.0.4 came out. I did not
