* Fixed processing of -S/-r arguments so giving a comma-separated list works.
* Don't query for the fetchmail host machine by default in ETRN mode.
* Added skip prefix clause on `envelope' option
+* Don't use TCP/IP for DNS queries, it interacts badly with diald.
+* Allow usernames up to 40 chars long a la RFC1939.
* Added --invisible option. Note: you can now either make fetchmail generate
a Received header (the default) *or* spoof your listener into thinking
fetchmail connected from the mailserver machine, *but not both*.
