hi folks
long time ago (and more than once) i had asked for a tool that lets me see
headers of emails on server, so that junk long emails can be deleted right
away, or donwloading can be postponed to late nights. this is especially
useful for slow dialup links (like mine!).
the tool is poppy, a perl script (thanks to sridhar ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
for pointing it out). a brief description of poppy below.
Title: poppy - simple perl POP3/IMAP mail processor with SMTP support.
Version: 3.1
Entered-date: 27MAR2001
Description: A simple perl script to retrieve mail headers from a POP3
or IMAP server and individually view, save or delete them.
Requires perl. Simple mail reader which relies on the POP3
or IMAP server to do most the work. A good use is to delete
or to skip over ranges of emails on a POP3 server when on a
slow link. You may also view only a specified number of lines
from a message to see if you would like to download the whole
message. Also has support for replying to emails using
SMTP servers.
