Hi,

That is completely beside the point, since the server sends all mails
seperately.

Rich> must be there to distinguish one message from the next.
The POP3 server spits out mails separated by "\nFrom " but not
"\n\nFrom ". If the standard sez one "\n" is enough then Gnus should
grok that, too, shouldn't it?
The POP3 server spits out messages *exactly* like
+OK\r\nFrom ....\r\nRest of header\r\n\r\nbody with trailing\r\n.\r\n
If the client side is able to receive single pieces of mail and then munges
them up so as lateron not to be able to separate them again, this has nothing
whatsoever to do with the server.
Just for the record - there's no way in hell apart from a broken filesystem
that the server mistakes two mails as one.
Bernard
