[fetchmail-users] Exchange server and attachment

[Andres B. <an...@ba...>]

Dear all,
I'm fetching my email from an exchange server and I have regular
problems with the attachments. Attachments are often corrupted.

I have read the FAQs and apparently there are some known problems, and
the suggested solution is to change email server. Which of course I
can't because is not in my control.

I was wondering:
-if the FAQ entry is updated, and if there are still known problems
-if it might be a configuration problem on my side.

This is the output of fetchmail -V

This is fetchmail release 6.3.4+SSL+NLS.
