Yes, you could specify that, and curl would happily send that command, but since that's an illegal POP-3 command (only one message number can be given to DELE), the server would return an error code. In this case, you'd probably want to specify '-Q -DELE 5' which would first download the message and only then delete it. >>> Dan ------------------------------------------------------------------- List admin: http://cool.haxx.se/list/listinfo/curl-library Etiquette: http://curl.haxx.se/mail/etiquette.html
