Email Header

[Jeff]

Is there a way in C# to just retrieve the email header from a POP
server. If so is there a short piece of code.

I need to develop an application which looks at the header. If it is in
a certain format in the subject line I then download it leaving all
other emails there.

Regards
Jeff

Are you aware of the various System.Net classes, including Socket and
TcpClient? These would be useful in writing software that communicates
with a POP server.

There's a System.Net.Mail namespace, but as far as I know that is
intended only for sending email. I don't know of any .NET classes
specific to receiving email, but .NET does have good support for
general-purpose network implementations, which would include your need
to communicate with a POP server.
