If pop requires a writable box, does it 'check' only, or does it 'really write', before it sends contents? We once tricked a program into accepting an unwritable file by allowing the file itself to be writable, but *mounting* it read only, so the check says OK, but the real 'write' fails. Just an idea to circumvent the problem (if possible)... Stucki
