It is an interactive program and the messages it downloads are not immediately digestible by a mail reader. It is also GPLed. I have some POP / socket C++ classes that I'd happily press into service to create a POP client gopher for FreeBSD if there's interest. Also, I've snarfed slurp to handle the complementary task for netnews. Has anyone else looked into the suitability of slurp for the "box"? Regards, John John Poplett dcasba@pacrain.com
