| Note that RFC 822 does *not* include delimeters, whether they be Unix
| mbox format, MMDF, Babyl, or CrUnChYbItSoFsTuDlYcApS.
I never said RFC 822 said anything of the sort. RFC 822 -- the format of
individual messages -- cares not a bit about how messages are stored after
delivery. That is a requirement of the delivery mechanism.
| So, if any POP servers are "broken" according to the spec, the ones that
| are leaving the delimeters *in* are!
POP falls under delivery mechanism in the grand scheme of things.
| Note that SMTP and POP use dot-stuffing to create protocol-level
| delimeters.
And again, I said as much and never otherwise. Escaping envelope-like
lines is not a protocol-level frob, which is why I resist that idea.
| Note that maildir format (and, for that matter, nnml ;-) delimit messages
| by using the filesystem. "From ", "From " with a Content-Length header,
| ^A^A^A^A, or Babyl delimeters are not the only possibilities. Depending
| on them to be there is probably unwise.
Which is why pop3-munge-message-separator exists at all.
