Re: [fetchmail-users] Problems with line-wrapping and Apple Mail users

[Chris C. <ce...@cs...>]

Thanks for the response Rob.

It appears this is not a fetchmail problem so I apologize for
posting to this forum.

It doesn't appear to be a problem with the client either since I
just confirmed that it does the same thing on another account
that I have (with postfix and no procmail, no fetchmail, etc.).
My mail client is basically just 'cat'ing /var/mail/chris.  

I can't explain why gmail has no problem with it though ... so I
will continue my search elsewhere.  Thank you!
