Just my unimportant little view Fetchmail does exactly what it is named: it fetches my mail at my ISPs and this means it has to some protocols to do its task properly. And drops the mail in front of my door. That's all. I would not have three butlers for bringing away the recycling rubbish, just because one must know that white bottles go into the container with round hole but marked white and the other one has to know that colored bottles go into the one with the round hole but marked colored and the third must know that paper goes into the container with the rectangular container. -- Erika Pacholleck <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> mutters: insert vowels of last name
