I recently got a mail message with malformed headers. It appears
that a mailing list agent had taken somebody's
X-Face: xxxx
yyy
zzz
header and transformed it into
X-Face: xxxx
yyyy
zzzz
which resulted in fetchmail griping about
fetchmail: message delimiter found while scanning headers
as the spurious blank line within the headers falsely delimited the
header/body of the message.
It would be nice if fetchmail had a switch like
"--save-exactly-what-the-retarded-imap-server-gives-me-to-this-file"
so that I could see what was going on. My other "option" is to try to
do this through MS Outlook, but I can find no way to get it to confess
what the actual bytes of the message are.
Thanks,
-Matthew
PS: fetchmail saves me from using Outlook as a mail client and let's
me use XEmacs instead, for which I cannot possibly thank you enough.
