Thanks to all for confirming my suspicions. Every user that has
complained of this problem has not reported subsequent occurences
after being told to leave a copy on the server for some days so
that we can witness the starngeness for ourselves.
FWIW, the POP3 server that I wrote (but not used in this environment
for lack of porting time) doesn't honour DELE requests when the
connection disappears without propper termination ie. a QUIT being
issued. That being what I believed to be the propper interpretation
of the RFC because the client may at any time during the transaction
issue a RSET. QUIT enters the commit state in the server.
