I had hoped to see APOP in this list among other things
Well ... shoot. I was under the impression that APOP is on it's way out
to be replaced by the CRAM-MD5 mechanism that SASL uses. But I just
checked, and it seems like you can enable APOP already with --enable-apop.
So that's a non-issue, I think.
and the ability to download only headers of messages in order
to be able to delete only the message that we don't want (AntiSPAM
like , well it is more like anti download huges unwanted files )
That's more of a protocol issue. It's not easy to do that within the
context of POP. It _is_ possible just to get the headers within POP
.... and I suppose inc could be changed to just retrieve the headers and
make some sort of decision about whether to download the whole message
or just delete it. But _that_ work would be complex. Feel free
to send patches :-)

There are tons of software that let you do this on the net, I don't believe
it is so hard to do , however this would certainly require to create a new
command in nmh and the addition of a few new options in the existing commands
However at the protocol level (POP3) everything already exists.
It is too bad I am not a programmer , so I can't help you with the task.
I am just a lowly user :)
