I think this is the biggest argument for creating the 'tray' app for
Windows 9x/ME users, so that they use that to start/shutdown the proxy.
Shutting down the whole machine still (presumably) _exit-style closes
it, but hopefully everything else that might have been using the proxy
is also dead by that time.
I think that the Windows NT/2K/XP users that run the pop3proxy service
avoid this, as presumably services are given the chance to close nicely.
