Subject: Re: bug#28597: 26.0.60; [Security] Configure should use --without-pop by default

As Glenn noted, the 'configure' message N. mentions came from an uneasy 
compromise between worry about the default lack-of-security in Emacs, 
and worry about backward compatibility (see Bug#26102). Although I favor 
making --without-pop the default, at this point it's really an issue for 
the two maintainers to decide.
