[Emacs-MIME-en:1001] FLIM smtp.el and NTLM authentication bug?

[Sekuri J]

I got a base64-decode error using WL while trying to authenticate using
NTLM with smtp server which supports this mechanism. I traced this to the
"smtp-primitive-auth" function in FLIM's smtp.el.

In it, there's a call to base64 decode the server's response (line 516 of
smtp.el) to client's "AUTH NTLM" request:

(sasl-step-set-data step (base64-decode-string (nth 1 response)))

If the server responds with "NTLM Supported" (which it does in my case),
the base64-decode-string function throws an error.

To get around this, I've edited line 516 to ignore-errors:

(sasl-step-set-data step (ignore-errors (base64-decode-string (nth 1
response))))

Is there a better way to do this?

Thanks
