But apparently not the one that tells you what to report :)

So, how about at least some of the details the FAQ asks for:

1) Version of fetchmail

2) Contents of .fetchmailrc

3) Output of "fetchmail -v -v --nosyslog" (and any other command line
arguments you usually use)

4) The OS you're using

Correction - results in the IMAP server providing the original email

And in that case the IMAP server seems to be providing the remote part
of the message for you (the "missing" body part in the first email is
external, so there's nothing for fetchmail to download).

I'd say the IMAP server is behaving strangely, but I'm not sure what
the expected behavior for external body parts is.
