Freshmeat has it too:
http://freshmeat.net/appindex/1998/03/27/891013287.html
"Poppy is a small Perl script that will individually retrieve only the
headers of mail messages from a POP3 server and then allow you to view,
save, or delete each. This is especially good for systems with limited
resources, whether thats limited disk space, slow internet connect, or no
GUI's. It is also good for managing your POP3 mailbox when your normal mail
reader is setup not to delete mail off the POP3 server or is having
problems downloading large emails."
