I understand why you'd initially hope for direct support within Rev -
but given the availability of two excellent Open Source, well
supported alternatives, I don't think it's anything to be concerned
about; if anything, I prefer having the Open Source versions, since
it let me build in a couple of personal variations to the library
when I used it.
I'd like to point out something in regards to libPop3 (as well as all
the other libraries I've written to date) - they are in the "Public
Domain" and not "Open Source" I do not like the restrictions and
licensing needed for "Open Source".
I don't know what the licensing for Sarah's library is, but I'm sure
she has it marked on her website or in the download.
The terms are confusing and often used in different ways, but I believe
one of the best explanations of the various terms is the one at
http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/categories.html (or at least, it agrees
with the way I think about Open Source, etc.)
It shows "Public Domain" as one of the subsets of "Open Source" - and
that's how I've always used it.
But I apologise if that confuses anyone, or disagrees with their
preferred description.
