[pkg-fetchmail-maint] Bug#488837: Expansion of EnvVars in fetchmailrc

[Michelle Konzack]

Package: fetchmail
Severity: wishlist

Hello Maintainer,

I like to see environement variables expanded from fetchmailrc to make
fetchmail more flexible.  A configdump show:

----[ STDIN ]-----------------------------------------------------------
TRUE=1; FALSE=0

os_type = 'linux'
feature_options = ('pop3','imap','sdps','etrn','odmr','ssl',)
# Start of configuration initializer
fetchmailrc = {
    'poll_interval':0,
    "logfile":"/home/michelle.konzack/.tddebbtsmanager/${HOME}/.tddebbtsmanager/logs/${DATE}.fetchmail.log",
    "idfile":"/home/michelle.konzack/.fetchids",
    "postmaster":"linux4michelle at tamay-dogan.net",
------------------------------------------------------------------------

which is not realy nice.

Thanks, Greetings and nice Day/Evening
