Pardon me for trying to humorously and constructively address a

I'll go back to dryly answering FAQ's and quietly suffering list
abuses now.

Oops, you forgot the part about *not* mentioning the previous
attempts. Otherwise, this was a pretty annoying message.

to fetchmail only (as far as I know) causes fetchmail to end SMTP
commands with CR-LF, it doesn't deal with embedded bare LF's.
