At the risk of starting a minor flame war (Go ahead, punk, make my day), I'm going to suggest that implementing POP would be a waste of time because the 1988 X.400 series of recommendation contains a protocol to implement a Message Store, which is exactly what POP provides. (I don't remember that actual recommendation number of the Message Store document, since my references are all at the office.) Why fiddle with random hacks when recognized international standards exist? -- Larry Campbell The Boston Software Works, Inc. campbell@bsw.com 120 Fulton Street wjh12!redsox!campbell Boston, MA 02146
