Pete,

Please post to the Cygwin mailing list <cygwin AT cygwin DOT com> instead of
sending private email.

Yes, see the following:

    http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2002-04/msg01584.html

Note that on August 14, 2001, I posted the following:

    http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2001-08/msg00628.html

So you were in the neighborhood, but didn't quite find the "needle in
the haystack." :,)

Yes, even "more" than a workaround since the above patch has been accepted
into fetchmail CVS:

Are you using the standard Cygwin fetchmail:

    http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2002-05/msg01132.html

or one built by yourself?

Note that I'm using mutt/ssmtp and fetchmail/procmail to avoid going
over to the Microsoft side myself.

BTW, you may be interested in the standard Cygwin procmail too:
