I've replied, again to punt-1, so with any luck you'll receive the two
messages I sent (it's a long story); the executive summary is that sadly
I couldn't determine anything about what caused the TOP failure, because
the message that caused it (which will have been the previous one that
was processed) was presumably DELEted when your POP3 collection
operation ended.  Sigh.  Improved error messages should help next time
it happens!
