tee getting stopped

I have been playing around with telnet and tee when retrieving mail from
my mail box. Sometimes it will just stop while doing the retr command.

The only way I can get the retr command to complete is to telnet into
the mailbox without the tee command appended. Here is how I am issuing
it:

telnet pop4.attglobal.net 110 | tee message5

Has anyone seen this kind of problem before?

Any ideas on how I might troubleshoot this further?
