Hmm, this reminds me of another pitfall. I don't know about Pine/ IMAPD, but Elm requires to be linked against -ldescrypt, in order to get its internal message {en,de}cryption correct. Satoshi, the configure script in our port should be aware of this, and it might warn the user about the disfunctional encryption if there's no such thing like -ldescrypt available. (I don't know who's the maintainer of the elm port.) -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
