Hello 

I am using fetcmail version 5.8.0 now for  years (as shipped by Suse I
must add).

Wow. Did you ever use SuSE's security updates? If no, you'd probably
kill the rpm (rpm -e fetchmail fetchmailconf) and want to install
fetchmail 6.1.3 instead.

Lately I have a problem with the fact that quoted printable messages
get autoconverted to 8bit, which I dislike. The headers of these
messages look like

X-MIME-Autoconverted: from quoted-printable
to 8bit by sunma2.mat.ucm.es id gB3Lu7p05518

This is a  feature I do not like.  I presume the culprit is fetchmail,
although  I am not   sure.

Why should it? Is sunma2.mat.ucm.es your computer? If so, why did you
configure "mimedecode"? The default is "no mimedecode", at least as of
6.1.3.

Is there a bug in fetchmail 5.8.0?

More than one.
