please don't make yet another program to access pop servers unless you're
willing to support all the features of movemail. movemail supports pop,
kerberos, and hesiod, unless you're going to support those features we're
going to end up with two separate programs instead of simply merging new
features into the existing mail interlock program.
i have no reason to think movemail is flawless, if you wanted to reimplement
it's features properly that would be better. but it works, and what you want
to add is a relatively minor (though annoying) feature; if you reimplement
everything else it's likely to break those features you never use.
