The "official" (and now final) version of pop3.el as far as I am concerned
is 1.3s.
A quick look at 2.03 (the version with XEmacs 21.1.4 that I have) indicates
that there are numerous fixes in 1.3 that have not been rolled into 2.0.
Of note: Content-Length headers are not generated, no coding-system fixes,
no unwind-protects around pop3-movemail's guts to help it fall out more
gracefully on an error condition, a simple fix for a problem caused by
Win32's different line termination is not there, nor is the fix for a
problem with VMS caused by % characters.
I am copying Andy on this to let him know that due to both the FSF and
XEmacs people (him in particular because he has assumed control on behalf
of XEmacs) neglecting to inform me of code changes I have given up
maintaining pop3.el, and that the code he is maintaining is critically
flawed.
