POP clients perform no modification to the mail spool or messages retrieved from it. Or if they do, they do as little as possible. IN the case of pop3, I construct an RFC 821-style envelope based on RFC 822 headers only if the POP server is stupid enough to strip it *AND* there is no MMDF or Babyl delimiter (yes, pop3 is smart enough to grok MMDF and Babyl messages). -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v0.9.5 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE3AUtcgl+vIlSVSNkRAiZEAKCjNyYR7qhA8Yzp6SJ4nbKadwf3TwCeIbjJ 5TYlNYw17uAgjz5OHKGfMMc= =4BIQ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Rat \ Caution: Happy Fun Ball may suddenly Minion of Nathan - Nathan says Hi! \ accelerate to dangerous speeds.
