Very Computer

        I'm using popclient to download mail from my ISP's pop3 server.
Then I use pine to read it. Popclient places the mail in a file in my home
directory. Trouble is, for every one real message, there is another dummy
message. That is, popclient tells me that it downloaded one message, but
when I read it with pine, there are two. These two messages are the same,
except one has no body. Does anybody know what is going on here.

I had the same problem that you're describing. So I changed to the
'fetchmail' program (it's (or at least was: ) available at
sunsite.unc.edu). It's a hell of a lot better...

So kick out popclient and upgrade to fetchmail!!!
