This worked quite good, but I found another problem. There seams to be
trailing whitespaces. I tried to strip(s) to get rid of them, but this
doesn't work, I get the following error message:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./pop3create.py", line 9, in ?
      print strip(line)
      NameError: name 'strip' is not defined

What's wrong here?
