(Basically, if someone sends me a huge attachment while I'm travelling, I want to just leave it on the server until I have a faster net connection; waiting 40 minutes on an airport pay phone to download some fools MPG file is an experience one only wants once in a lifetime.) I used to get my mail indirectly, through a series of perl scripts and telnet, but something really odd has happened to my net setup and that doesn't work anymore. (Don't ask. I haven't a clue what's wrong, but it doesn't work anymore and I can't for the life of me figure out why not.) Anyway, a little digging through pop3.el didn't reveal anything, so I'm not optimistic, but I thought I'd ask.
