Ray,

It is nothing to do with the tcp/ip, that's only how to connect to the
server over the network. Reading messages from a POP3 server is documented
in the RFC1939. SMTP is in RFC2821, also you might interested on IMAP which
is RFC2060.

Anyway, the short answer is: YES. So you can obtain the entire header of the
message, then parse it for yourself (search for the line starting with
'Subject:' and that's it. Then if you decide you can download part or the
entire message or delete it.

Hope it helps,
Tamas
