[pkg-fetchmail-maint] Bug#703738: fetchmail: Dot at 1st column of any line cuts delivered message

[Pavel Vávra]

Hallo again,
  my last test shows that server responds fine when command RETR is used instead of TOP. TOP is acording to RFC1939 extension to POP3, but RETR is base command of POP3 protocol. Using RETR in this case will solve problem.

|Sample message. This message wil be partially delivered.
|Cut point is here:
|..
|This part of message will never be delivered by fetchmail

First '|' character to echh line is added manually by me.

Well, I've found discussion about RETR and TOP in man page and I want to set fetchall to use RETR instead of TOP. Fetchmail fails during start saying that fetchall and keep set both to on is not allowed in server mode. But I have uidl set ON too. I didn't find a solution for server, where I need to archive all emails on my workstation, but time to time I need web access to check and read some messages. Is any other way how to force RETR command with existing configuration (aleady sent to this bug)?

Pavel
