Hi,

Well, after having spent a day hacking up the code, and studying what
fetchmail was/is seeing, I've found the source of the truncated
attachments.  *Some* how, my isp knows I'm coming in with something
other than a mail client like outlook or evolution.  Right in the middle
of the message (or, more correctly, at 80k), they insert a POP
end-of-message (period/cr).  Some how, fetchmail communicates what/who
it is, and the ISP server decides to truncate.  *sigh*

Maybe the server only sends at most 80k of data when issued a TOP
command. If that's true and other clients use regular RETR commands, this
may be your problem.
