And, if the network drops out, fetchmail will notice and the next time you go to get mail, that mail may be re-transmitted. Feature! If that's a problem, tell procmail to watch for duplicates (very simple to do) and drop them into a =Duplicates mail folder. Between fetchmail and procmail and any barely usable mail client, bad lines don't have to be a problem. They just keep on trying until it's done. -- Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced.
