Subject: Re: pop3 changes
Some servers support "xtnd xmit". I (somewhat reluctantly) do so in Eudora, because there are people out there who don't allow small machines to play SMTP. However, I'd much rather this remain an extension, not part of the protocol. It's an ugly hack. There needs to be an authenticated way to post mail, but I don't think that putting it in POP is the right thing. Digital signatures are the right thing. Using SMTP does of course really raise the bar as far as how much work even a minimal MUA has to do. Might be nice to have a Simple Posting Protocol that was in fact simple; but that's a separate issue. Anyway, much sympathy and commiseration, but I don't think that posting belongs in POP. -- Steve Dorner, Qualcomm Incorporated "There's nothing wrong with you that can't be cured with a little Prozac and a polo mallet." - Woody Allen
