Package: fetchmailconf
Version: 6.3.6-1
Followup-For: Bug #432149


Ok, actually you do get to change the offered local name to bkerin in
the GUI dialog for the individual user if you want.  So all I can say
is that it confused me (daunting to have to remove the very user ID
you are trying to add).  Perhaps the warning dialog that gets popped
up if you leave the name with the ampersand there could be modified to
give a pointer in this situation).

Also, the situation with @ in the user ID being required by email
service providers is common (the other one I have access to required
it as well) or maybe universal.
