Public bug reported:

Over the last year or so (perhaps since update to fetchmail 6.3.21), I
had a problem that in messages sent from one particular mail server
(Microsoft Exchange) the messages I recieved had no text in the body at
all.

I then found that for plain text messages that are not terminated with a
newline (sent using the ms webmail interface) the last line of the
message gets lost. I assume that HTML messages are sent as a single,
unterminated line, and therefore get entirely lost.

The problem disappeared (at least that for plain text messages) when
turning the mimedecode option off under fetchmail.

Ubunutu release: 12.04
