I don't want to download my mail with ftp - someone else did.
I normally just read it online, while dialed directly to my BBS, which
provides Pine mail, and if I need to transfer it to my computer I use
Kermit file transfer to do so.  The other person telnets to read mail and
wanted some way to transfer the mail to his own computer.  Steven
suggested using script, I asked about using screen (to be more selective
about what you transfer).
