fetchmail-5.9.11-2 now uploaded (was: Re: fetchmail still corrupts files ?)

[Gerrit P. Haase]

I have now included this patch from Jason:

>>     http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2001-08/msg00628.html

I would be pleased to hear if it works on W2K without corrupting
binary attachments (or was it even corrupting text attachments?).

http://62.138.63.18/cywgin/fetchmail/

There are two versions, one with ssl support.
Both need libiconv (link at the website).

I'm still compiling the ssl version, but the standard release
without ssl is already available, ssl will be up in half an hour
(or so;).

Initially, I thought that it had to do with binary attachments.
After reading the fetchmail code, I feel relatively sure that any aspect
of the mail can get corrupted because the routine that I patched is very
low level. In fact, it is the routine that reads characters off of the
socket connected to the mail server.

I think that the probability of corruption is higher with larger
messages which may explain why I first noticed the problem with a
message that contained a binary attachment.
