I guess it's the same as <http://mid.gmane.org/4A7D3B9F.8020209@telejeck.de>.

Comment 3 Matthias Andree 2009-08-17 17:18:04 UTC

Hi Thomas,

thanks for the report and the patch.

I'll merge it upstream (it's been committed to the fetchmail SVN repository already) and see to a soonish 6.3.12 release.

Best
Matthias
