[tpop3d-discuss] tpop3d and Eudora problem

[ZUKERAN, shin]

Hello,

I found tpop3d's strange behaver.

When pop3 client send many commands on a packet, tpop3 server can't process all commands.
I found this problem with Eudora.  Eudora sends LIST and UIDL command first,
and Eudora sends many DELE and RETR command collectively.

I created the tiny patch. My problem was solved.
However, I do not know whether this correction is right. 
Is there any advice?
