Agreed. I hope no one thinks that I was saying your version wasn't good
enough. I just didn't want to have to verify if I had Net::POP3 in Perl (I'm
pretty sure I do, since it's the ActiveState version) and so I made the Ruby
version based on what you wrote. It was good for what it did, but I found
that it missed a number of the messages (naturally, because it had fewer
regexp), and the main reason for making the change is I didn't want to
answer yes on EACH message.

At any rate, I think they're both highly usable. At some point, I think that
I'll set up a POP3 proxy form of this moving forward and integrate this,
gurgitate, and a bayesian spam checker so that I can look at doing things a
bit differently.

That would certainly interest me. If you set this up on RubyForge
you''d definitely get my feedback and contributions!
