:Hello fellow PLUG members,

:Actually, POP can support encrypted passowrds via the extension
:referenced in RFC 1734, "POP3 AUTHentication command". Some POP clients
:that support APOP include Microsoft Outlook Express, Eudora Lite,
:and Claris EMailer. APOP-compliant POP servers include Qualcomm QPopper
:2.2 and higher as well as Microsoft Exchange.
