This is the kind of answer needed!  I know I'm not the only one who has
been hit with the "OH NO! It downloaded everything again!!" problem. 

Being able to clean up the mess with telnet is beside the point ... it
should be possible to have the mess never happen.  But without something
solid to work with -- on the Arachne end, and with the ISP where
possible -- nothing much can be done to fix things.

With my ISP and multiple mail servers, unless I can tell them the server
they can't do a thing ... because using telnet the problem never occurs,
[at least it never HAS occurred even when there is a Problem Message
involved] and I think that is how they actually access a lot of the
stuff right there in the office.

Drat!  I just remembered something!  I had a problem message, I called
up the techs because it was before I'd gotten a handle on how to use
telnet, they "deleted" the message there ... and when I went to download
again, the message was STILL there!  And I didn't think to document it
or get the name of the tech or anything, because I didn't know enough
about what was going on to see that as very important. sheesh ...
