Storing passwords (was: problem sending mails)

However, while I'm asking, I have another issue, again - not sure if it's really Cygwin related or not. I clearly don't have gnome-keyring working correctly, so I would assume as backup, balsa would store my mailbox passwords in the config and congif-private files, but it doesn't, and I have to enter them every time I run balsa. (It does remember them for multiple mail retrieves within the same invocation.) Is this a build time issue, a configuration issue, or ??? It does seem to remember the smtp password, but not the pop3 one.

Well, I solved the issue by recompiling with --without-gnome. That way, it doesn't even look for gnome-keyring and does store the passwords itself. Unfortunately, this means I have to keep my own compiled version and not use the cygwin-ports version, but that's a pretty minor issue for me, and easily worth the effort.

Now on to my next issue - how to get balsa to open html parts with firefox (plain windows version - not cygwin version). Any hints?
