For starters. I leave the post in for context. My assumption (perhaps wrong) being that since I
can't quote inline like I should be able to, then it's better to leave the original post so that
everyone knows what I'm referring to. Secondly, what would you have me do instead in order to leave
context but deal with my crappy Outlook-behaving web email client? Hand-quote it? Put little ">"
marks in front of each line by hand. Please. You're not cutting me slack.
Thanks for the example. I'll compare it against mine and hopefully by tonight I'll be on fetchmail
+ pine. Right off, though, my version of fetchmail doesn't like "set keep" and it looks pretty
similar to mine (minus the spam filtering stuff) otherwise. So we'll see. I need to test it later
so I'm not potentially killing emails I need.

Please, cut me some slack. It's not my web-client. I didn't install it. And I'm not going to switch ISPs to get a better web client. End of story.
Plenty of slack available. We will byass that you cannot edit your quotes or are forced to top post
Anyway, I know about fetchmailconf, so thanks for nothing.
You are welcome
The reason I asked for an example is because earlier in this SuSE install I WAS using fetchmail, but it was deleting emails (only certain ones) that it wasn't supposed to be deleting. So certain email messages weren't getting through. I used fetchmailconf to configure it and still it wasn't working right so I was hoping to see a nice working example of a good .fetchmailrc example because I know about fetchmailconf, I know how to RTFM, I know how to Google and still I can't come up with a .fetchmailrc file that doesn't kill certain email messages for some odd reason.
example set logfile "/path-to/fetchmail.log" set postmaster "who-ever-you-want" set bouncemail set spambounce set properties "v" set daemon 150 poll pop-server.your.isp with proto POP3 timeout 60 user 'your-log-on-name' there with password 'your-password' is 'your-name-on-your-computer' here options fetchall stripcr mda '/usr/lib/sendmail -i -oem -f %F %T' antispam 571 550 501 554 this if for pop3, change to your required protocol (you didn't say). If you want to leave the mail on the server, add following with the set statements at the begining: set keep This has been working for me for over ten years. -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org HOG # US1244711 Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/photos -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com
