One thing that I found with the newsreader was that it doesn't do POP correctly. No matter what you do with your mail, it still doesn't check for read vs. unread articles. This is fine when you have a mailbox with one message. It can be annoying when you have 110 messages in your mailbox and don't want to 1) delete them or 2) download them twice.

Neither pop 2 nor pop 3 tell you whether you've read a message or not. pop 2 does bump up the current number with an ACKS, but if you move around with READ n, then that's useless. pop 3 doesn't do that. I just reread the rfcs to make sure that I wasn't missing anything, (RFC 1725: Post Office Protocol - Version 3, RFC 937: Post Office Protocol - Version 2). Am I missing something?
