Well, funnily enough, I have just run into a situation where nnpop would
be very useful (my ISP will only provide pop3 access if not using their
horrific webmail interface).  I don't use that account much, which is
why I haven't missed the lack of pop support in gnus, but they (the ISP)
are starting to send "important" messages to that address that I now
need to look at sooner rather than later...

... so, an nnpop backend would be great to see.  but not critical.

Thanks,
eric
