Hi,
Output from ``fetchmail -V'' is the same with or without option "ssl"
in .fetchmailrc ... I expected the presence/absence of "ssl" to affect
the output. Below is a test script ... there's output from diff when
"keep" is changed to "no keep". However, there is no output from diff
when "ssl" is added. Is that a bug?

2. ...the name and origin of ...binary package you installed.
It's the latest .deb package from Debian's stable archive,
automatically installed with ``apt-get update'' and ``apt-get upgrade''.

Just one (1) difference found by two (2) diff commands,
surrounded by output from two (2) whoami commands:
