I guess, but I don't use pop3 email & I don't poll a server for it.
For the time being I'm working on a fix for the poppy glitch; the neat
thing about that little script is that I can look at mail on a pop3
server without downloading it, as well as downloading and/or deleting
single messages.

Umm...  Suggestion(s) for a simple "raw" CLI-mode mailreader?
I want to retrieve/download a single message complete with headers.
More specifically, it's a phish-attempt I'm trying to "package" nicely
for the security folks at the spoofed company.
