Subject: Problems with Net::POP

I am having problems with ruby 1.6.6 and Net::POP.

require 'net/pop'

pop = Net::POP3.new('pop-server')
pop.start('user', 'secret')

pop.each do |msg|
    print msg.top(1)
    msg.delete!
end

The above code does NOT delete the messages as it should 
(msg.delete!).

This is the case on both Linux and Win32. I can update the Linux 
version easily; I'm not as comfortable updating the Win32 version 
because of the wide variety of versions available. When there's a 
single-installer of a later version of Ruby available, I'll happily 
upgrade that one.
