I notice that when one "incs" from their mailbox, the From line
will be written as Return-Path, assuming #ifdef RPATHS is true.

When one "incs" from a pop-server, the From line is not rewritten,
even if RPATHS is true.

This happens as a side effect of scan() being called with an outnum
of 0 when popping, instead of msgnum or msgnum + 1, as is the case
when not using pop.

Is there a short answer as to why From -> Return-Path is turned off
when inc is a pop client, and not otherwise?

Thanks for any tips.
