I apologize; it's been so long since I used POP3 that I'd forgotten some 
details.

The size encoded in the file's name is the size of the file.  It's not 
the correct byte count, required by RFC, including proper newlines.

What I do recall is that this usually isn't a serious problem, since 
Courier saves its results in Maildir/courierpop3dsizelist.  Only new 
messages have to be examined for their "size" at login.

So, again, details about Jamie's setup and prior diagnostics would 
probably help us understand why the existing infrastructure isn't 
performing adequately.
