ipop3d and APOP

[sinck@corp.quepasa.com]

Actually, I left out the 'nt' (being what this group is an all) it
should read: 'conventstation', an investation by convents.  As used in
the preceeding email, means that the 'pop dialogue' is pure and
therefore 'secure'.

\_ Was this a typo for conversation or can you tell me the definition of the
\_ word...I like its sound.
