Dear Luggers, i am downloading the mails from a mail server on a linux box using fetchmail. the linux box also runs sendmail. but the attachment doesn't get downloaded. plz look at the last line in logs which says fetchmail: message 1 was not the expected length (992 actual != 149192 expected) is it a mime problem?
-- fetchmail: forwarding to localhost fetchmail: SMTP> MAIL FROM:mohan@lcgindia.com BODY=8BITMIME SIZE=149192 fetchmail: SMTP< 250 2.1.0 mohan@lcgindia.com...

What version of fetchmail do you use? A better place to post the message would be the fetchmail list.
However, I'd suggest that you upgrade to the newer version of fetchmail. The reason being the guys on the fetchmail list will tell you to do so before they look into it. See note below for latest announcement on fetchmail release and website info.

Note! The fetchmail website has MOVED!
The 6.2.2 release of fetchmail is now available at the usual locations, including URL:http://www.catb.org/~esr/fetchmail.
The source archive is available at: URL:http://www.catb.org/~esr/fetchmail/fetchmail-6.2.2.tar.gz
Here are the release notes:
fetchmail-6.2.2 (Fri Feb 28 21:34:26 EST 2003), 22345 lines:
* Sunil Shetye's patch to improve behavior in empty messages. * Conform to RFC2595; reissue capability probes after successful STARTTLS negotiation. * Sunil's patch to make handling of failed STARTTLS more graceful. * Sunil's JF2 fix patch for .fetchmailrc security fix. * Christophe GIAUME christophe@giaume.com finished the implementation of RFC2177 IDLE. * Jason Tishler's fix patch for Cygwin. * Support ssh-style authentication in POP3
There are 554 people on fetchmail-friends and 727 on fetchmail-announce.
Cleanup and bugfix release. Matthias Andree is going to try to do some audacious things with the build system next.
By popular demand, diffs from the previous release have been omitted.
Thanks for the suggestion. I got the solution. The attachment is getting stripped when i download the mails using IMAP, but not using POP3. STRANGE!!

There's a truism that the road to Hell is often paved with good intentions. The corollary is that evil is best known not by its motives but by its *methods*.
