# NOTE THAT FETCHMAIL IS NO LONGER PUBLISHED THROUGH IBIBLIO.
* They have stopped accepting submissions and consider themselves an archive.
+# CRITICAL BUG FIX for setups using "mimedecode":
+* The mimedecode feature failed to ship the last line of the body if it was
+ encoded as quoted-printable and had a MIME soft line break in the very last
+ line. Reported by Lars Hecking in June 2011.
+ Bug introduced on 1998-03-20 when the mimedecode support was added by ESR
+ before release 4.4.1 through code contributed by Henrik Storner.
+ Workaround for older releases: do not use mimedecode feature.
+
+ Earlier versions of this NEWS file claimed this bug fixed in fetchmail-6.3.23,
+ but it was not.
