No response out of Berkeley, so... You can all have my version of popper, which is a slightly hacked 1.7b4. Anonymous ftp to pequod.cso.uiuc.edu, and get pub/popper1.7b4.tar.Z. If you are running popper version 1.6, YOU NEED THIS POPPER. If you are running popper version 1.7 (actually, 1.7b5 or later), YOU NEED THIS POPPER. Version 1.6 can corrupt maildrops, and 1.7b5 and later will very happily lose all your mail if anything goes wrong during a network connection. (UNIX gurus may be able to get it back from /usr/spool/mail/.popYOURLOGIN). I have had NO problems with popper1.7b4. Yes, I know I'm probably violating some copyright. I wouldn't do it if the bugs were not so serious, and I will withdraw this version of popper as soon as Berkeley puts a fixed version on their server. -- Steve Dorner, U of Illinois Computing Services Office Internet: s-dorner@uiuc.edu UUCP: uunet!uiucuxc!uiuc.edu!s-dorner
