Oh, most probably, yes. But as there is no problem to start with until fetchmail suddenly decides that today it will fork sendmail instead of talking smtp, it's not an option I'd usually have enabled. Odd ^M behaviour is not really the worst thing that could happen with this failure mode. Suppose I had fetchmail configured to deliver to another system - or I had a forwarder listening on port 25 so that fetchmail thought it was delivering locally but the mail was actually going elsewhere. Who's to say that my "sendmail" program is going to produce the same result? Who's to say it even _works_? Anyway, this is off-topic for debian-emacsen, so I'll stop here... -dan -- http://ww.telent.net/cliki/ - Link farm for free CL-on-Unix resources
