Several weeks ago the munkis at AT&T Worldnet began some kind of email
"upgrade" that they're still recovering from. Fetchmail is no longer able to
pop off messages with attachments larger than around 300K from their secure
pop server. Regardless of size, messages get truncated to about 81K. The
server reports the correct message size, but then fetchmail always aborts
around 81K, looks like it got an EOM for some reason. If I send the same
message with attachments to any of my backup email addresses (different pop
servers) fetchmail can pull them down just fine. What's worse, Kmail and
Evolution have no trouble at all retrieving messages from
ipostoffice.worldnet.att.net using ssl. Anyone else seen this problem,
before I reach for Ethereal or tcpdump?
