For those who do not have the deep understanding that you do, It
provides a front end.

As in previously.

Back in 2003, Ray Dawson posted an e-mail to the AntiSpam list with a
modification to PopStar Choices:
'quote'
(this is all one line!!)
TransferEnd: Spamstamp -indir <POPstar$MailDir>.spool.mail.text
-outdir <POPstar$MailDir>.spool.mail.checked -append -backup
<POPstar$MailDir>.spool.mail.backup -rename
'unquote'.
Thus, in my mind, the 3 applications became intimately linked. The
effect is that a single click will fetch and scan mail for reading in
Messenger.
