Hmm. Perhaps the connection wasn't really stuck and the QUIT that C-g
triggered was actually transmitted to the server?
The mail in question was *not* on the server. I'd peeked at the
mailbox in advance, and I know some of the messages which had been
discarded.
Maybe the SSH tunnel is causing the problems: something is stalled, I
press C-g, and the server assumes that the messages up to this point
have been sucessfully transmitted. Actually, this *could* be the
problem if individual messages don't have to be acknowledged at the
POP layer.
