Eudora does it - it's a hack, and you have to <blonde> like, edit the INI 
file </blonde> to do it.  It's supported on the server side in qpopper, and 
Steve Dorner (the guy who wrote Eudora and got nothing much out of it) had 
David Harris put server-side support for it into Mercury.  It's never been 
documented well, if at all, and the IETF has stated that they're not 
interested in any POP3 extensions that allow sending - it'll never make 
RFC, even if they *did* submit it.
