I belive this problem is fixed in the latest port of popper. Grab it from FreeBSD-current/ports/mail/popper or packages/mail/qpop-2.1.4.2.tgz and please let us know how it goes. This is only a temporary fix, and according to one of our members, the "proper" fix is already sent back to the popper for inclusion in the next version. Satoshi
