Oh dear, hacking a hack :)
Don't bother with 2.0 for the POP3 stuff, it hasn't changed from 1.9.

You are obviously a hard-core POP3 user :)  I don't use it at all, but I 
got asked and I liked the idea of a more general application KA9Q rather 
than a Demon focused one.
I agree about the availability of source. Where's your POP3 stuff hidden ?

As you've probably realized I'm hardly a programmer at all :)

Apropos something completely different (although a part of the more 
general app theme), I have the feeling I saw something from you about 
direct posting of news. I've just added it to YAN and am in the process 
of testing it, but if you've done the same I'd like to compare notes.
