Although that's true, sometimes you can't control both ends of a business
conversation.

In our case, we've got an external partner that sends XML data, PGP
encrypted, via SMTP.  So a POP3 implementation or XML parser that reads via
POP3 would be handy.  We can architect this ourselves, I'm sure, but if
there's open source that does this it would be nice.

We're currently using expat as our C++ parser (well, wrapped C++), but I
don't really want to have to write a pop3 client if at all possible.
Haven't researched this *that* much yet.
