I used to use fetchmail until its habit of 'accidentally' leaving mail its read but forgotten to delete in the source mailbox. Forever. Eventually this annoyed me enough make the switch to getmail, which hasn't caused me any problems at all.
I haven't noticed any problems arising from getmail's 'unparseable headers': in fact I hadn't noticed that they weren't being processed. Which brings me to the question I wanted to raised in this (renamed) thread: What would we gain if getmail generated headers were parsed? IOW, should I raise a bug or would I just be wasting my and other peoples, time? If it would not be a waste of time, should the bug be raised against getmail or SA? Martin
