poplib.POP3.list() returns extra value?

With a judicious bit of UTSL, that count seems to be the total number of
octets in the reply.  This information comes from any user of
_getlongresp(), which actually returns a tuple (resp, list, octets).
These methods would be:
    list
    retr
    top
    uidl

I'd consider it a doc bug too.  If you feel comfortable doing it, dive
in and improve the documentation of poplib.  Submitting a patch to the
patch tracker on sf.net/projects/python is probably the best way to do
this, if you have the necessary knowledge of cvs to produce a patch.
