I think Morpheus understood this time too.

You are. Slightly. POP3 includes the ability for the client software
to request the server to send the "TOP" (n) lines of a message. That
and the headers. TB's dispatcher uses these POP3 features to fuel the
message dispatcher. All communication still takes place between TB and
the POP3 server.
