FAQ # I8 says:

"Stock fetchmail will work with a comcast.net server...but they seem to
have an 80K limit on the length of downloaded messages. Anything larger

I have found a workaround to this issue that may work for some people -
it works for me.  I added fetchall to my .fetchmailrc and this works
around the problem.  Interactively, fetchmail -a also works.

It would be good to know the state of affairs with 6.3.1 (the current release).
