That's more of a protocol issue. It's not easy to do that within the

make some sort of decision about whether to download the whole message
or just delete it. But _that_ work would be complex. Feel free
to send patches :-)
There are tons of software that let you do this on the net
Then why not use what is available?
Because I want to use nmh , like I have been doing for a long long time
and because most of these software are Windows based , and I am not going
to use Windows.

Something I need to put in is having inc delete messages after X many have been downloaded. That way I can survive a net outages or ^C easier. ] ON HUMILITY: to err is human.

It deletes each message right after it retrieves it, AFAIK. I think that problem is that according to the POP3 spec, unless you get a clean QUIT, you don't make any changes to the mailbox. --Ken

locking rcvstore?
I'm just a lurker here, but I'd like to say that I'm glad to see some work being done to nmh once again. I lurk because my C skills are poor, but that doesn't mean I can't put in a request for those who have better C skills. I always call rcvstore with this wrapper: #!/bin/bash PATH=/usr/lib/nmh:$PATH export PATH lockfile $HOME/Mail/$1/.lock echo $ rcvstore +$ rm -f $HOME/Mail/$1/.lock and it would be nice if it weren't needed. Is anyone interested in adding file locking to rcvstore. The lockfile executable that I call comes with procmail and I suppose it wouldn't be unreasonable to do the locking in a way that was compatible with procmail. procmail is under the GPL artistic license, so I guess you can't just borrow the code due to license pollution, but how hard could lockfile be to implement?
