1.1     ! misho       1: Long: list-only
        !             2: Short: l
        !             3: Protocols: FTP POP3
        !             4: Help: List only mode
        !             5: Added: 7.21.5
        !             6: ---
        !             7: (FTP)
        !             8: When listing an FTP directory, this switch forces a name-only view. This is
        !             9: especially useful if the user wants to machine-parse the contents of an FTP
        !            10: directory since the normal directory view doesn't use a standard look or
        !            11: format. When used like this, the option causes a NLST command to be sent to
        !            12: the server instead of LIST.
        !            13: 
        !            14: Note: Some FTP servers list only files in their response to NLST; they do not
        !            15: include sub-directories and symbolic links.
        !            16: 
        !            17: (POP3)
        !            18: When retrieving a specific email from POP3, this switch forces a LIST command
        !            19: to be performed instead of RETR. This is particularly useful if the user wants
        !            20: to see if a specific message id exists on the server and what size it is.
        !            21: 
        !            22: Note: When combined with --request, this option can be used to send an UIDL
        !            23: command instead, so the user may use the email's unique identifier rather than
        !            24: it's message id to make the request.
