Hi friends,
here is a bug report from a Debian user about fetchmail. He has a
broken Notes server which behaves badly on empty messages. He issued
a patch to correct this behavior. He was able to reproduce this
reliably with 6.2.0 as well.
I updated his patch to 6.2.0. It seems that although it might be
cleaned a bit, it doesn't break things.
Cheers,
Benjamin

Fetchmail sometimes hangs up when talking to a Lotus Notes based POP
server. I've played with things here and the problem appears to be
that with an empty body Notes (wrongly) leaves out the trailing empty
line between the headers and the "." to terminate the message. The
attached patch seems to work for me.
