| Ah.  And if the POP3 server emits a From_ line but not the trailing
| empty line, you're screwed.  But the POP3 server shouldn't emit the
| From_ line anyway.

Assuming that the spool file is mbox to begin with, then the POP server
should not strip the trailing space at the end of the message body, either.

| Right.  So I wonder what it is that goes wrong for Andrew...

I still do not believe pop3.el was directly responsible for what happened.
If the maildrop is locked, the POP server will not allow a new POP session
to be opened.  I would look into why the drop was locked when Gnus tried to
open it.
