Description of problem:
The man page for inc says:

       When using POP, you will normally need to type  the  pass-
       word  for  your  account  on  the  POP server, in order to
       retrieve your messages.

However if you run `inc -host pop_server' it doesn't prompt for a password
   
The problem seems to be not with nmh itself but with the system ruserpass
function.
Anyway the simple fix (not necessarily the best) is to apply the attached
patch which builds inc with ruserpass included in the nmh distribution. 


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. inc -host pop_server
2.
3.
	

Actual Results:  inc doesn't prompt for a password and after a delay
reports:

   inc: -ERR [AUTH] Password supplied for "user" is incorrect.

Expected Results:  inc should display:

Password (pop_server:user):

and after (correct) entry of the password retrieve the user's mail from the
pop server.

Additional info:

nmh built on other OSes (Compaq Tru64 Unix for example) works correctly
presumably because it defaults to using the builtin ruserpass in the
absence of a system supplied function.

The builtin ruserpass calls getpass which is a deprecated function.  From
getpass(1):

   This function is obsolete. Do not use it.

If it's obsolete that probably means there's something better but I don't
know what and don't have time to investigate further. 

The workaround is to create a .netrc file with the user name and password
but
in this environment it's not acceptable to ask users to put passwords in a
plain text file.
