Humm, AFAIK, fetchmail gets it from vz, writing it
to /var/spool/mail/gene
and kmail takes it from there. And I'm just using what the servers
support, which for vz is 99.9% of zip, plain text for everything.
Gmail's pop3 server at least uses ssl encryption for everything. OTOH,
I have my gmail prefs set to fwd it to vz, which is probably not the
'schmardtest' thing to do. I should cancel that, and let fetchmail
get it direct.

Well, my reasons for using fetchmail is that its configuration is
pretty brain dead simple. And kmail has this habit of forgetting to
hit the network & fetch the mail itself if its config isn't refreshed
about 2x a week. Your basic old dogs (me at 71) and new tricks

People having trouble with vz bouncing email to me should add the word
'online' between the 'verizon', and the dot which bypasses vz's
stupid bounce rules. I do use spamassassin too. :-)
