A nice bonus.

Hmmm... What would they say if you promised to not, and then ran it from
cron every */2 or */5 minutes? :-)

I figured that they'd have done that -- first, in fact -- but then didn't
think that any company would *really* have folks popping dwn internally...
What a backup mess!

I can imagine that... Of course, it gets back to the whole war over
which is a download method and which is a folder implementation...

% init.h, and what format should it be in. And in pop.c where does the pop
% mesgs actually get "stored" in the mailbox? Is it via the
% mx_commit_message() function near line 280?
Way outta my league :-)
