Several fetchmailrc keywords applying in user context are missing from the Webmin GUI.
If they are added manually to the .fetchmailrc files, it works. However, when opened later on by Webmin, the files are corrupted by Webmin, because it does not recognize these keywords and hence places them all on a single line.

The ones I use most are:
smtpname
dropstatus
dropdelivered
mimedecode
sslfingerprint

There are other keywords unknown to Webmin. Please see the man page for reference.

    Yes, currently Webmin will put all unknown options onto a single line.

    However, does this really corrupt the .fetchmailrc file? My understanding is that multiple directives can appear on the same like ...

    After careful checking, I confirm that there does not seem to be an issue with having several options on the same line.

    The issue I had is that the sslfingerrprint needs to have the string of hex values between quotes. However, single quotes are stripped by Webmin when saving the file, which then makes it unparseable by fechmail.
    So, this is a slightly different issue than my original report. Apologies for this.
