Hans,

I received this last weekend, but have been too busy to look at it.  I'm
certainly going to dive into it today - thanks again!

Tom

Speaking POP (or any email protocol) isn't really related to attachments.
You could, for example, send HTTP packets over email if you really wanted
to.  In fact, you could send IP packets if you have nothing to do.

For IMAP there's of course:  http://us2.php.net/imap

And for pop, phpclasses.org probably has you covered.  I haven't had to
speak POP myself, so I'm lucky.

I have, however, had to parse email messages a lot, and this means MIME.  So
much so, I wrote my own parser, which is actually generic to MIME
(http/email/etc).  It's attached and I'd be happy for any feedback.  I'm
using it in production and all has been happy, but I'm always ready for
patches, etc.
