That's Jim Dandy but there are creative way to work around the POP3
problem. Folks stating it simply can't be done are giving up too easy.

I'm no expert field but how about putting a special field in the header
or string at the top of the message containing the actual recipient.
This could allow a utility program to process the message and rename it
to proper person. Sort's like the "to:" in a gated netmail message
which, BTW, was never designed to transport email messages but is done
every day by hundreds of folks...:)

See ya..
