The old stable distribution (woody) is not affected by this problem.

For the stable distribution (sarge) this problem has been fixed in version 6.2.5-12sarge1.

For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in version 6.2.5-16.

We recommend that you upgrade your fetchmail package.");
