Imail woes.

2001-02-19 10:23:25
Hiya friends,

From the fetchmail FAQ:
" The Mail Max POP3 server and the InterChange and Imail IMAP servers are known 
to 
  simply drop MIME attachments when uploading messages ..... If you are running 
one 
  of these, replacing your server with a Unix machine is probably the only 
effective 
  solution. "

Believe me, I would if I could. Running Imail 6.04, and I can't get any MIME 
attachments
using fetchmail. Yet, I can point mutt directly at the server and get the 
attachments. 

Has anybody played with fetchmail to play nice with broken IMAP servers like 
Imail?
What on earth is Imail doing that fscks things up like so? What is there in the 
IMAP
protocol that allows an IMAP server to decide to drop MIME attachments 
dependant on
what client is connecting? Could fetchmail just pretend to be mutt or whatever?

Thanks all.
Brian.
