i'm pretty sure this is not mda problem since i can check the mailbox on the server
just before fetching the mail; it contains the correct line, which gets corrupted
after i suck it to the "client" (i.e., my desktop machine) with mutt.
your experience with fetchmail makes me think that it is rather a "feature" of one of
the related protocols (pop3 or smtp message format in general (is there such a
thing?)).
could anyone confirm (or, better, deny)?
