After seeing Gnus download mail from a POP3 server various times and the
progress report going over 100%, I decided to look into it and edited
the source so I'd get better logging of the fact.  It doesn't happen at
all times.  It's less than 50% of the times, say.  But it's frequent
enough to make it easy to see it at work, though I haven't spotted what
exactly makes the problem happen.

Here's one instance.

The total-size calculated by Gnus was 80988.  Where did that number come
from?  It seems to come from straight from the POP3 server, which in
this case it's the Gmail POP3 server.  I managed to get a POP3 list
before downloading, here's what I find.

--8<-------------------------------------------------------->8---
+OK Gpop ready for requests from 34.197.192.71 o12mb164492058vst

+OK 8 messages (80988 bytes)

5 2725
6 5487
7 2725
8 4583
.
+OK Farewell.
--8<-------------------------------------------------------->8---

(You don't see my input in the POP3 session above.  You only see the
output from the POP3 server.  My input is authentication plus a LIST
command.)

I collected other instances of the problem as well, but they all seem to
have the same in common---the POP3 server seems to announce a total size
that doesn't match the fact (after downloading each message).

In other words, this doesn't look like a Gnus problem at all.  I'm
reporting to this, however, because I'm a little bit curious as to is
the problem exactly.  (You might easily know what explains this.)

It's very odd to me in the session above, we find 3 messages with
exactly the same size of 20295.  There are two with 4583 bytes and there
are two with 2725 bytes.  I'm not getting any repeated messages at all.

I would appreciate any analysis you might provide on this.  Thank you.
