thanks for reporting this; i can confirm your observation, and it looks as if there's a bug in the 'credentials: legacy' handling (which happens to be the default as per man mh-profile). i'll investigate the issue as soon as i find a bit of time. however, the netrc credentials mechanism is not affected by the bug, so for the time being i'd suggest using that as a workaround. (because this workaround exists i'm lowering the severity of the bug to normal.) ie 'credentials: file:.netrc' in .mh_profile, and a 0600-chmod'd ~/.netrc with 'machine localhost login testme password whatever' does convince inc to pass the password as expected. regards az -- Alexander Zangerl + GPG Key 2FCCF66BB963BD5F + http://snafu.priv.at/ #define sizeof(x) rand() -- Dark_Brood
