hmmm. that's a cool idea. The only real problem I see is that the
challenge is supposed to change. still, that's a cool idea for a work
around.

although it might cause problems because it doesn't look to be an rfc
compliant challenge string. From RFC2195:

The data encoded in the first ready response contains an
presumptively arbitrary string of random digits, a timestamp, and the
fully-qualified primary host name of the server. The syntax of the
unencoded form must correspond to that of an RFC 822 'msg-id'
[RFC822] as described in [POP3].

but I guess that's knit-picking.
