Doesn't matter...  nnml-request-scan scan's the first one, downloads
*all* of the pop's stuff and stores the incoming file, splits it and
delivers it all on the first call to it.  After that, it probably
polls the pop demon but its always empty, so its fairly fast...  Not a 
problem.  I don't have 88 groups, only about 20 or so, but I don't
have a lag time problem, after the inital download...

That would be better I suppose (actually, its what I thought it was
doing!  I hadn't noticed it was doing multiple calls to the pop demon, 
but your right, it probably is)
