(rmail-pop-password-error): New variable. (rmail-insert-inbox-text): If there's an error getting mail from the POP server, and the error matches rmail-pop-password-error or we prompted for the POP password, assume that the password is incorrect and erase it so that the user will be prompted again the next time he gets mail.

;;; Code:

;;;
;;; Quick hack to use emacs as mail editor.  There are a *bunch* of
;;; changes scattered throughout emacs to make this work, namely:
;;; (1) mod to sysdep.c to allow emacs to attach to a process other
;;;     than the one that originally spawned it.
;;; (2) mod to kepteditor.com to define the logical emacs_parent_pid
;;;     which is what sysdep.c looks for, and define the logical
;;;     emacs_command_args which contains the command line
;;; (3) mod to re-parse command line arguments from emacs_command_args
;;;     then execute them as though emacs were just starting up.
