Configuring !POP - whoops!

I've just realised that there is a bugette in !POP which limits the mail
file name length to 9 characters instead of 10 - so you can't use
"postmaster", for example.

The fix is trivial and I'll try to get it uploaded somewhere over the
weekend.  EMAIL me if you're desperate.

If you know how to use a template editor you can DIY: Icon 18 in
template "users" should have its string length changed from 10 to 11 -
the program itself uses a 12 byte buffer).

I'd post the fix here (its only 7K) but since I've recently joined in
slagging off people in rec.arts.photography.digital who want to post
photos I'd better be a good boy :-)
