Upon further investigation, this appears to be coming from the IMAP server, but it's possible that fetchmail should know to ignore it. I don't know if this is common to other IMAP servers, and I don't know what software is actually driving the IMAP server in question, but the extra paren is present in both the fetchmail debug log (run from fetchmailconf) and when telnetting to the server directly (using telnet-ssl). I tested the server with mutt and Thunderbird, though, and they did not show the paren at all. Is this a bug with the server that I should report to my email provider, or is this a bug with fetchmail for not expecting it/ignoring it? My guess is that it is a bug in fetchmail, since my courier-imap server also appends the paren in the same way. That said, I'm baffled that it doesn't seem to have been reported before. } Regards } Alban --Greg -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
