Well, what is a bug and what is a feature it is sometimes a matter of opinion :-) >There is no sense to log debug as normal info. On the contrary, the old log format made a lot of sense to me. It is the normal way I run fetchmail, and I keep old logs for some time. >To get that debug info that you are missing please use the '-v' flag. I just tried it, but it is not what I need. It logs a lot of information that I don't need. Generally speaking, a trace that does not log date and time is an error: you don't know when things happened. If the log is in the same format as it is now, but with time logged, that would be a great improvement. Moreover, having in addition a log of transactions that did not get any mail would be helpful, even if not as important as the above mentioned feature. >P.D: Unless you have more objections I'll close this bug which it is not >on my oppinion. I would say that the missing date and time is a "normal" bug, unless there are other ways of obtaining them by using configuration or command line options. I would also say that having logs of transactions that do not get any mail is a "wishlist" bug. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
