Thank Holger.
The POP server is actually on the same machine as the rebol install
(it's a small dedicated server) and I have already tried using the full
IP address, "localhost" and 127.0.0.1, none of which worked.
I'll try some other things and see what I can come up with.
Thanks all for your help.
Matt.
