Greetings,

I am asking interested fetchmail users to test a BETA release of
fetchmail.  This beta1 has the long-desired feature to ignore bad
headers in messages and pass them on.  Note that this features is OFF BY
DEFAULT and YOU need to turn it on explicitly by command line or rcfile.

The beta software is available from:
<http://home.pages.de/~mandree/fetchmail/>

These are the relevant changes since the previous release.  Unless
otherwise noted, changes to this release were made by Matthias Andree:

# FEATURE
* Fetchmail now supports a bad-header command line or rcfile option that takes
  exactly one argument, pass or reject (default).  If set to pass, fetchmail
  will pass messages with bad headers on.  This has been rejected for a long
  time, and the right behaviour was disputed for too long.

# CHANGES
* The repository has been converted and moved from the Subversion (SVN) format
  kindly hosted by Graham Wilson over the past years to Git format hosted on
  Gitorious.org.  My deepest thanks to Graham Wilson for this service that
  kept us going when BerliOS's Subversion service was faulty in its early days.
* This opportunity was used to convert BRANCH_6-2 and BRANCH_1-9-9 to
  GnuPG-signed tags, as a sign that these are now closed.
* The outdated SVN trunk is now called "oldtrunk" in Git just to save the work
  for future reference. All development in the past few years was on BRANCH_6-3.
* master was branched from BRANCH_6-3 for user convenience.

# DOCUMENTATION
* Web site and documentation were adjusted to reflect the SVN->Git move.
* The fetchmail manual page is now much clearer on the user id switching
  (seteuid) when using --mda while running as the super user.
