I seem to vaguely remember that, at some point in time, if you added POP
support, you lost "normal" use (that is, 'inc' would always try to use
pop). That could just be a bad memory on my part, but it would not be
good if that were the case.
I also seem to (more recently) see mentions of '-no*pop' option(s). It'd
be nice if it could be built in such a way that it would continue to work
without changes for those of us that don't use POP. (yes, I know it'd be
easy to go add a '-nopop' to MY .mh_profile, but if that were the only
way, it'd generate a bunch of questions "hey! my 'inc' command doesn't
work any more! what happened?").
Or maybe it should be (would be?) triggered by a 'pophost' entry in the
lib/mtstailor file or some such?
