- Hello Mathew,
- In a message dated 24 Feb 96 you wrote to All :
-
- MH> You need the RFCs (requests for comments), the medium in which Internet
- MH> standards are put forward. RFCs are stored on many FTP sites, for
- MH> example rtfm.mit.edu.

- I downloaded POP3's RFC. I wanted to know how Eudora (PC) didn't
- download already downloaded messages, although they weren't deleted. I
- hypotized it checked the unique-id of every message, so I wrote a program to
- check unique-ids and to compare them with a "last downloaded message id" (saved
- in a file). I thought the POP server increased this id, but it isn't
- true! New messages may have ids < than old ones! Anyway I knew it, RFC
- doesn't tell anything about id calculation... Argh!
-
- So how can Eudora check if a message has already been downloaded? Please
- someone help me...
