Richard -- pop3 clearly does the wrong thing here. The pop server is not honor-bound (or even supposed to) quote Unix mail folder delimiters in the body of the message, and when you are generating a Unix mail folder based on the output of RETR, you have to quote those lines. Or generate something else than Unix mail folders. MMDF, for instance. -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) larsi@gnus.org * Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen
