Hello,
I'm having a problem with missing Content-Transfer-Encoding
headers. The server is Domino IMAP4 Server Release 6.5.4FP1.
When reading email via IMAP, everything appears normal. However,
after fetchmail retrieves the message, I lose the
Content-Transfer-Encoding header and often mails end up looking like
garbage (many =3D=3D=3D etc)
Here are the relevant headers when viewed through an IMAP connection:
Subject: Re: Extended Attributes API
Sender: owner-freebsd-current(_at_)freebsd(_dot_)org
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
X-Original-To: freebsd-current(_at_)freebsd(_dot_)org
Delivered-To: freebsd-current(_at_)freebsd(_dot_)org
References: <20060215124132(_dot_)GA51235(_at_)idkfa(_dot_)ath(_dot_)cx>

User-Agent: nail 11.2 8/15/04
MIME-Version: 1.0
The headers after fetchmail retrieves the mail are missing the
Content-Transfer-Encoding line. If I manually add the header, the
messages reads fine in mutt.
Curiously, I ran tcpdump and it appears that during the RFC822
HEADER fetch, the Content-Transfer-Encoding is not retrieved:

Another odd thing, if I manually add the Content-Transfer-Encoding
header and copy the mail back to the IMAP server and re-retrieve it
using fetchmail, the header is successfully retained.
I don't know why this is happening. If I can read the header via
IMAP, why wouldn't fetchmail retrieve it? Is it a phantom header?
Any ideas?
