[fetchmail]pop3/fetchall/question

Hello Friends,

First, fetchmail is great.
One of my ISP's is using a POP3 that didn't work correctly with fetchmail. 
After some investigating I found out, issueing TOP 1 99999999 actually send 
out as many lines;-)) Whick blocked the server for 30 minutes. So that was a 
lot of fun. It seemed, this problem only occured on the last message in the 
box. So I used the fetchall option to work around and it works fine. Maybe, 
fetchall should be made the default because it seems the TOP command gives 
problems with a lot of servers. I'm not sure but I think my isp uses 
sendmail/NT. If you want, check it out at 'mail.is.nl'.

Question: In my .fetchmailrc I need something like: ..... is * here .... So, 
the local name of "*". When I use fetchmailconf, it seems I can only place a 
'*' (surrounded by apostrophes). So, I always have to edit the configuration 
to remove the ''s manually afterward. Am I overlooking a way to set this 
right with fetchmailconf?

Greetings,

Richard
