I was asking for a facility to forward a message to another computer 
without having to download it first. I don't know if it's possible 
under POP. That doesn't apply to spam because I'm confident enough to 
delete spam marked by my ISP, and I divert spam detected under the 
rules. This means I can filter diverted messages in Messenger pro and 
send them straight to the spam folder to check for false positives. 
Defaulted messages are passed through SpamStamp first.

The reason for forwarding messages is that they are very large and a) 
might cause problems on the RiscPC and b) probably contain large 
multimedia attachments which I can't play on the RPC anyway. If I have 
to download them then I can bounce them from Mpro or I can transfer 
the attachments to my other computer by ftp.

I don't want a "user experience" - I just want stuff that works.
