popclient stores the mail in a file you specified in .poprc

Each user must have their own .poprc in their home directory.
Also ensure the file can only accessed by the user ...

ie chmod 0600 .poprc

I just did this 5 minutes ago. popclient 3.0b6 seems to work well. This is
my first outbound mail using pine.
