Mailbox with at symbol in username

 [1/2] from: mat::plothatching::com at: 16-Dec-2002 11:17


Quick one, I need to log on to a pop3 mail server with Rebol but the username actually has an ['--'] in it. This appears to confuse things. Any workaround? Regards, Mat.

SWAG - Scientific Wild Assed Guess Try to use a port specification such as mailbox: open [ scheme: 'POP host: "mail.example.com" user: "[UserWithAn--InTheName]" pass: "TopSecretPassword" ] Hope it'll help! /Lennart Fridén ([lennart--nylen--biz]) The World is not sane so why should I be?
