Of course, and kudos to him, it's a really nice idea, and one I'll
certainly be experimenting with when I get home.
However, I was simply referring to the first part of his e-mail (and
snipped his e-mail appropriately to highlight this), where he expressed
his apprehension of having his fetchmail password in plain text. That's
all.
