Thanks.   I realise that with a normal line that doesn't drop, the performance 
would be worse sending a 'delete' after each downloaded message; but with a 
line that does drop, the behaviour I described above becomes almost unusable.

Thought of that, and I'll try to implement it (though last time I tried, for 
some reason, it wouldn't work).   I'm using 1.9.5, btw.

OK, I'll do that.    And thanks for the response.
