| These default coding systems were tried:

| However, none of them safely encodes the target text.

Of course it doesn't.  POP3 is a binary data stream, not text.  It will
break if you try to treat it as text.  pop3.el *should* do the right thing,
but I haven't maintained that code since the FSF *and* XEmacs developers
yanked it out from under me.
