encoding pop input as "ASCII" causes problems with passwords that are 8-bit
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

         Key: JAMES-376
         URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JAMES-376
     Project: James
        Type: Bug
  Components: POP3Server  
    Versions: 2.2.0    
 Environment: Linux
    Reporter: Ralf Hauser


it appears that new Outlook allows for 8 bit instead of the ascii, so if a 
password containing a "ü" or other Umlaut is used, there may be problems.


org.apache.james.pop3server.POP3Handler.handleConnection(Socket connection) 

determines the encoding.

It doesn't appear that base64 or alike as in 
http://james.apache.org/rfclist/pop3/rfc1734.txt is used.
