popclient weirdness resolved.

[Mark J. Reed]

Joe: check your sendmail/smail/whatever configuration.  Your email is leaving with a
 From: line of just "joe" - when my mail server (and most others, I suspect)
sees a from line with no @ part, it appends our local domain, so I was wondering
who "joe at sware.com" was when I saw the inbox list.  In any case, it makes
it hard to reply (I had to go through the other mail headers and manually
locate your address).
