Additions to pop.rb

ruby-talk

Hello all. I don’t quite know if this is the place to post these types of
submissions but I cannot seem to find anywhere else.

Anyway, I have made an update to pop.rb (from the ruby-1.6.8 distribution)
to give POP3 STAT command functionality (POP3#stat). The method returns an
array of [numMessages, size]. I have also added a BadResponseError class to
the bottom like it is in smtp.rb since I could not find where BadResponse
(in the POP3#list method) was located and it seemed like a problem as it is.

I have attached a diff (pop_diff.txt) to this email and would be more than
willing to send the whole new file on request.

Comments and criticisms are welcome!

Hi Frank,

Thank you very much. Your patch seems good, except `stat’ method
should belongs to POPMail object. I’ll commit your patch with little
modification.

P.S.
Sorry for late response. I’m quite busy these days…

Great! I do think, though, that stat should belong to the POP3 object since
(if I understand correctly) POPMail is only one email object. The ‘stat’
method returns information on the size of the entire POP3 mailbox and the
number of emails (POPMail objects) inside.

Ah, just I forgot it. Thanks.
