This is near the first anniversary of epop3mail, which started out as a
personal project to learn emacs lisp and, in the process, find a way to
avoid using the Dreaded M$oft Exchange client foisted on me at work.

Version 0.9.6 is another maintenance release.  It includes

- a patched pop3.el which ought to help out long-suffering Emacs
  v 20.3+ users of epop3mail.


- a function to dynamically switch inbox lists (useful for dial-up
  users):

        epop3-set-mailboxes


- a clarification in the documentation for Gnus users


- (finally) a bug-reporting function:

       epop3-submit-bug-report


There are still many loose ends to address; among them:


- when switching from leave-mail-on-server to delete-from-server, all
existing messages on the POP3 server are re-retrieved.  This is because
the delete-mail-from-server mode ignores the accumulated UIDL information.

Solution: make the delete-mail-from-server mode use the UIDL instead of
LIST.  This will make retrieval a bit slower, however.


- managing mail on the server & selectively deleting it.  I have a few
ideas about how to handle the user-interface for this, but would like to
hear suggestions as well before committing anything to code.
