same thing.  I think you meant "download+delete".  POP3 really isn't 
meant for interactive message use though.

Um, any mailreader will fetch the whole message, headers and all.  (I 
thought you were a mutt user?  just hit 'h' or save the message into its 
own mbox and use cat.  :)

However, fetchmail may do what you want, you can have it log the entire 
traffic stream to and from the server, and IIRC fetch individual 
messages.
