Oops, yeah, I could have figured that out myself...

My -v log seemed to give the correct number of bytes at the end, but it said 
"sending" and "sent" within a few seconds of each other for a 3mb message and 
a dialup user. 14 minutes later (probably about the right amount of time for 
the download over dialup), it ended with that looked like a normal finish. No 
timeout. The user swears his progress bar never moved and the client just 
stalled, though. I have other, non verbose, logs from earlier where I can see 
him try to download the same message and got a timeout. He said he got 8 
copies of it. And again, the messages weren't moved to the 'cur' folder.
