    Log Message:
    Report bigger "size of message" in POP3 LIST response

    For messages that have no body, we'd report 0. But RFC 1939 says this value
    is supposed to be "the exact size of the message in octets" <sigh>. This
    would include header fields, so while we can't know the exact RFC822 size, adding the msg's hdr.length to these values gives size > 0 for messages
    with no body text and this enables the Apple iPhone Mail app to download
    the message (fixing issue #822).

    Part two of this fix is to provide a blank line of message text when there
    is none. This changes the message displayed in the iPhone Mail app from:

    "This message cannot be displayed because of the way it is formatted.
    Ask the sender to send it again using a different format or email program.

    text/plain"

    to (the much nicer):
    "This message has no content".

    Log Message:
    Include the size of the message headers in the POP3 STAT response too

    I suppose if we only had messages with no body text, this value could be 0
    (not accounting for any headers) and thus throw a client off.

    So consider this as part of the fix for issue #822.
