Subject: Treat smtp-auth method from auth-info as a symbol
X-Git-Tag: emacs-29.0.90~1893^2~43
X-Git-Url: http://git.eshelyaron.com/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=2385bf3397f8a92e226a29a5050c69dd8d2a1c31;p=emacs.git

Treat smtp-auth method from auth-info as a symbol

The lookup of the SMTP auth method is done based on symbols, but
sometimes the requested value comes from `auth-info', in which case it
is a string, so call `intern-soft' to convert it to a symbol (which
does nothing if it's already a symbol).

* lisp/mail/smtpmail.el (smtpmail-try-auth-methods): Call
`intern-soft' on the smtp-auth key's value.  (Bug#57373)
