Re: Problems with downloads from hotmail

Hi Ian, 

where exactly is the BOM? Can you show an example? Feel free to replace any printable character by x to mask private information. 

POP3 and IMAP headers clearly are not UTF-8 or UTF-16 according to standards, so a provider's inserting 0xFF or 0xFE characters is a blatant violation of the protocol and I guess not just fetchmail will have trouble with that.
