Take this with a pinch of salt :-) I think it is simply a case of 
replacing NOS.PRG with the POP version.

I don't know if the POP version has the SMTP stuff left in it. Except 
for saving a bit of space, I see no reason why it should have been 
taken out and every reason for leaving it in.

er - dunno! :-)
