[pmmail-list] annoyances with remote

[Mark Paulus]

One thing you can do if everything else fails is to 
telnet to your mail server and manually delete the offending
message.

'telnet <isp mail server> 110'
user <userid>
pass <password>
list                                        -  this will show you a list of all the messages on the server and their filesize/line count
list <msgnum> <lines>          -  this will show you the first <lines> of the message so you can verify this is the one you want
dele <msgnum>
quit
