If I comment out the "&& strchr(greeting, '<')" line, STLS with the qpopper

Qpopper configuration. I believe fetchmail only tries CAPA on servers
that are recent enough to announce APOP -- however, as said before, that
assumption breaks on Courier-IMAP, to name only one server (a good one, BTW).
This sounds a bit contradictory. It is clear that fetchmail tries CAPA only
on APOP servers, but is it right to do so? I don't see why there is qpopper
to blame for not behaving APOP-like when capable of CAPA.
Maybe this could be modified like "if someone wants STLS [or something else
that requires CAPA], try CAPA, if this does not work out, disconnect".
:: IMPLEMENTATION Qpopper-version-4.0.3
Should be updated, while we're at it, there are security relevant bug
fixes in newer versions.
Yep, I know. Unfortunately, the sysadmins installed there don't share this
feeling.... =:o
