It makes sense, but surely some mailers out there already support a similar POP3 syntax. It would be good to maintain some compatibility with existing practise (assuming there is some) given that there doesn't seem to be an official POP-3 URL syntax for such commands. Have you researched to see if other mailers do that? mutt, for example, allows pop3 URL syntax only to access a mailbox and not to manipulate messages so the path part of the URL is ignored, so unfortunately there's no precedence there. >>> Dan ------------------------------------------------------------------- List admin: http://cool.haxx.se/list/listinfo/curl-library Etiquette: http://curl.haxx.se/mail/etiquette.html
