cfpop delete with uid

I'm trying to delete specific messages using cfpop, passing UIDs. If I get the headers from my account using

<cfpop action="getHeaderOnly" name="getMessages" server="#mailServer#" username="#username#" password="#password#">

and copy any particular uid,

such as:

210761.wQc,Rx8QN3PZCHBy0oTVD8qHEQk=

I can not delete it using

<cfpop action="delete" uid="210761.wQc,Rx8QN3PZCHBy0oTVD8qHEQk= " server="#mailServer#" username="#username#" password="#password#">

I saw some conversations about this where suggestions were made to use only parts of the given uid, and tried various permutations, to

no avail. Any thoughts?

I do not know what the specifications say about UID values. But assuming commas are allowed, you are probably out of luck. CF will most likely assume the comma is a delimiter and treat the string as two (2) separate UID values, not one (1).  In addition to checking the bug database, you may want to do a search. Since you are not the first one to have this problem, there may be a CFC or custom tag available that can handle the issue.
