occasionally (when my pop3 server glitches) fetchmail generates a
message like the following:
| Subject: fetchmail authentication failed
|
| Fetchmail could not get mail from foo(_at_)bar(_dot_)com(_dot_)
|
| The attempt to get authorization failed.
| This probably means your password is invalid, but POP3 servers have
| other failure modes that fetchmail cannot distinguish from this
| because they don't send useful error messages on login failure.
|

| The Fetchmail Daemon
note that that's the whole message. no headers other than the
Subject. in particular, there's no Date header, and so i can't
easily determine when the problem happened.
would it be reasonable to include a Date header?
(i could probably cobble up a patch...)
