Normally, `imap-port-number` would be used with `parameterize` to localize a setting: (parameterize ([imap-port-number 12345]) (imap-connect ....)) I agree that an optional keyword argument would be better in this case, and it's just that the parameter predates keyword-argument support. (It's a relatively old library.) Arguments like `#:tls?` were added later. A `#:port-number` argument that defaults to the parameter value would work well. At Wed, 8 Feb 2017 01:38:05 -0800 (PST), Tim Hanson wrote: > P.s. For that matter couldn't folder also be optional, defaulting to "INBOX"? That also sounds to me like a fine improvement. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Racket Users" group.
