Yes, you can send the message "subscribe" to plug-digest-request and
reply the message you get, but you will also need to send me a seperate
email so I can add you to the list of email addresses that are allowed to
post to the main plug list.

But can't you connect up once a day and download them all at once
from your mailserver anyway?

Doesn't the remote POP server echo what you type? I thought most POP
servers did...

They are all in RFC 1939, available at your local friendly RFC mirror.

I don't know of any in Niger, but for Perthites the closest would be
ftp://typhaon.ucs.uwa.edu.au/pub/rfc/rfc1939.txt.gz

TOP <message number> <number of lines of the body you want to see>

eg "TOP 1 0" if you want to see only the headers of the first message.
"TOP 28 5" if you want headers and the first 5 lines of msg 28.
