Re: pop3 *very* slow?

[Dave Liebreich <pixiebob@bigfoot.com>]

I steped through the function, and it looks like the first search for
'^.\r\n' fails because point is at the end of the buffer.  After sitting for
3 seconds (accept-process-output) and conditionally sleeping, there's a
(goto-char start) and the search succeeds.

I put a (goto-char start) before the while, and performance has improved
dramatically.

This makes sense to me, but I'm not strong in elisp coding - is this the
right fix?
