Good question. I'm unthinkingly using code which unthinkingly uses standard POP3 commands like RETR. I'll have to go read the RFC to find out precisely what they mean. [few minutes later] Read ftp://ftp.isi.edu/in-notes/rfc1939.txt The mail.retrieve uses RETR. You get the whole thing. Why not use mail.get_msg_size(<msg#>)? I think that gives you whole size including headers. > Also, considering the maximum length of PP strings, does it download > whole messages or just up to certain size? Is there a max PP string? Help (check what's new) sez " use strings of any length in expressions and with variables." No way to tell a POP3 server to get just part of a something, so once told, it will do the whole of it.
