PMMAIL seems to have some <ahem> "idiosyncracies" in hostname lookups, at
least in the OS/2 version.  I have been unable to receive via
pop3.attglobal.net using PMMAIL for well over a year, but when I
substitute the IP address 32.97.166.3 it works fine.  Other mail programs
do not have this problem so I am quite sure it is a PMMAIL bug.
