|   +OK POP3 dj.stud.ntnu.no proxy server v1.0 ready.

|   -ERR Null command.

That... is strange.  'Command line too long' is not a valid error in any
event as POP requires that excess gubbage be ignored.  I cannot recreate
the error manually, which makes it difficult to track down what is causing
the problem.  pGnus sends nothing to the POP server; that traffic is
handled entirely by pop3.el.  It sends nothing other than what you are
typing.  It is a very simple, very literal, brute-force library.

| It looks like pguns (I'm using version 0.88) sends an invalid command
| to the server after connecting. Is there an easy way to insert trace
| sentences into the pop3 code?

As I just said, I failed miserably at making that work.  That is not to say 
it is impossible, just that I could not make it work.

|  (setq nnmail-spool-file '(

This variable's name has changed to mail-sources.  What does 'C-h v' tell
you about mail-sources or nnmail-spool-file?
