However, whether or not TF can properly dispaly mail in boxes defioned as pop3 boxes was only a secondary question. The important one, one that you did not address, and I would appreciate it if you did, was the issue of Telefinder not recognizing the "return to" line in a pop3 mailing when the user generates a reply form.
Since I want users to be able to write to mailing lists and hopefully be spared the requirement that I explain to them that telefinder has this shortcomoing that all the other mailers they use does not have, namely that it does not recognize the return mail address in an e-mail, I would like to know if this is what happens or is there simply some preference I need to set to make the TF client recognizxe this. If it is infact what happens, it ought to be corrected, since this means that people are undoubtedly generating repsonses to incorrect addresses.
I can remember long ago people reporting to me that their mail was winding up in unexpected places. My advice to them at the time was to not rely on the return address being correctly generated. I think I now understand what was happening, and I think this (using the proper return address) is something that any mail client ought to do.
