//+ Name DwPopClient -- Class for handling the client side of a POP session
//+ Description
//. {\tt DwPopClient} is a class that handles the client side of a POP
//. session.  Specifically, {\tt DwPopClient} provides facilities for
//. opening a connection to a POP server, sending commands to the server,
//. receiving responses from the server, and closing the connection. The
//. protocol implemented is the Post Office Protocol version 3, as specified
//. in RFC-1939.
//.
//. {\tt DwPopClient} is derived from {\tt DwProtocolClient}. For information
//. about inherited member functions, especially member functions for detecting
//. failures or errors, see the man page for {\tt DwProtocolClient}.
//.
//. In a POP session, the client sends commands to the server and receives
//. responses from the server.  A client command consists of a command word
//. and zero or more argument words.  A server response consists of a single
//. line status response, which may be followed immediately by a multi-line
//. response. The first word of the status response is either +OK or -ERR,
//. indicating the success or failure of the command. The status line may
//. also contain other information requested by the client.
//.
//. {\tt DwPopClient} has only a default constructor. On Win32 platforms,
//. it is possible for the constructor to fail. (It calls WSAStartup().)
//. You should verify that the constructor succeeded by calling the inherited
//. member function {\tt DwProtocolClient::LastError()} and checking for a zero
//. return value.
//.
//. To open a connection to the server, call the member function {\tt Open()}
//. with the name of the server as an argument. {\tt Open()} accepts an
//. optional argument that specifies the TCP port that the server listens to.
//. The default port is the standard POP port (110). {\tt Open()} may fail,
//. so you should check the return value to verify that it succeeded. To
//. close the connection, call the inherited member function
//. {\tt DwProtocolClient::Close()}. To check if a connection is open, call
//. the inherited member function {\tt DwProtocolClient::IsOpen()}.
//. {\tt IsOpen()} returns a boolean value that indicates whether or not
//. a call to {\tt Open()} was successful; it will not detect failure in
//. the network or a close operation by the remote host.
//.
//. For each POP command, {\tt DwPopClient} has a member function that sends
//. that command and receives the server's response. If the command takes any
//. arguments, then those arguments are passed as function arguments to the
//. command function. The command functions return the first character
//. of the server's response, which will be '+' if the command succeeded
//. or '-' if the command failed.
//. In some cases, because of a communications error or some other error,
//. it is not possible for the command function to send the command or
//. receive the response.  When this happens, the command function will
//. return 0.  You can determine the precise error or failure by calling
//. the inherited member functions {\tt DwProtocolClient::LastError()} or
//. {\tt DwProtocolClient::LastFailure()}.
//.
//. After each command is sent, {\tt DwPopClient} receives the server's
//. response and remembers it. The member function {\tt StatusCode()}
//. returns the first character of the server's status response; it will be
//. '+' or '-', indicating success or failure, or zero if no response was
//. received from the server. {\tt SingleLineResponse()} returns the entire
//. single line status response from the server, including the initial
//. "+OK" or "-ERR" status word.
//.
//. The server sends a single-line response, including a status code, for all
//. POP commands. For some commands, such as when the client requests a
//. mail message, the server sends a multi-line text response immediately
//. following the single-line status response. Multi-line text responses
//. can be received in either of two ways. The simplest way is to call
//. the member function {\tt MultiLineResponse()} after a command completes
//. successfully. This simple method works fine for non-interactive
//. applications. It can be a problem in interactive applications, however,
//. because there is no data to display to a user until the entire multi-line
//. response is retrieved. An alternative method allows your program to
//. retrieve the multi-line response one line at a time as it is received.
//. To use this method, you must define a subclass of {\tt DwObserver}
//. and assign an object of that class to the {\tt DwPopClient} object
//. using the member function {\tt SetObserver()}. {\tt DwObserver} is an
//. abstract class, declared in protocol.h, that has just one pure virtual
//. member function {\tt Notify()}. After each line of the multi-line response
//. is received, {\tt DwPopClient} will call the {\tt Notify()} member
//. function of its assigned {\tt DwObserver} object. Each invocation of
//. {\tt Notify()} should call the {\tt DwPopClient} member function
//. {\tt MultiLineResponse()} to retrieve the next line of the text response.
//. Note that you cannot use both of these methods at the same time: if
//. an observer is assigned, {\tt MultiLineResponse()} returns only the last
//. line received, not the entire multi-line response.

    //. {\tt aServer} may be either a host name, such as "news.acme.com" or
    //. an IP number in dotted decimal format, such as "147.81.64.60".  The

    //. assigned by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA).
    //.
    //. If the connection attempt succeeds, the server sends a response.
    //. {\tt Open()} returns the server's status code ('+' or '-'). The full
    //. response from the server can be retrieved by calling
    //. {\tt SingleLineResponse()}.
    //.
    //. If the connection attempt fails, {\tt Open()} returns 0.  To determine
    //. what error occurred when a connection attempt fails, call the inherited

    //. a failure also occurred, call the inherited member function
    //. {\tt DwProtocolClient::LastFailure()}.

    //. after each line of the multi-line response is received.  To remove
