Hi all, I have a remote server password that contains spaces and I need to add an entry for this server in my ~/.netrc file. Presently I am trying this: machine myserver.com login myuser password "my password" which fails miserably when I invoke fetchmail ;(. Whilst I'm fairly certain I can solve this issue by modifying my .fetchmailrc file, I'd like to be able to just modify the .netrc file if possible. Is it possible to quote spaces in a .netrc field? Many thanks in advance, Jez -- Favourite pickup line: Hey baby, wanna synchronize sequence numbers?
