This is a multi-part message in MIME format.

Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

POP3:  Messages get sucked-down from server to a local client, like 
Thunderbird.  Server erases its copy immediately or after a period of time.

IMAP:  Message gets served up by server--usually to a browser--but stays 
on server.

IMAP is the predominant method these days, (ostensibly) because you can 
access the message indefinitely from any number of clients (I wouldn't 
be surprised if the NSA prefers this, although they likely sample 
everything moving across the Net).

I use both--POP3 and T-Bird at home, IMAP and browser at work--and have 
the same issues with both.

The issues started for me after Mark had problems--IIRC he got 
hacked--and he may have upgraded a few months ago.
