They add nothing to the headers. Remember, they are acting like a web browser, using HTTP GET commands, and whatever else is necessary to authenticate to the account. They just pull data from the web server holding the email, and pass it to the POP3 client. There is no SMTP activity; the kludge is just a proxy which translates POP3 commands into HTTP commands. -- Norman ~Oh Lord, why have you come ~To Konnyu, with the Lion and the Drum
