Comcast is still using Maillenium, but no longer
displays the banner that triggers fetchmail to force
use of RETR instead of TOP.

I would like to not use --fetchall, but still force RETR.

I have added this to my own copy of fetchmail, and am
using it.     Here is a link to my patch to the
production 6.3.8 code:

I would love to have this feature added, so that I do
not need to patch future versions.    Plus, I'm sure
there are lots of comcast users out there wondering why
they are no getting truncated attachments.

Thanks,
Jay
