Initially, I thought that it had to do with binary attachments. After reading the fetchmail code, I feel relatively sure that any aspect of the mail can get corrupted because the routine that I patched is very low level. In fact, it is the routine that reads characters off of the socket connected to the mail server. I think that the probability of corruption is higher with larger messages which may explain why I first noticed the problem with a message that contained a binary attachment.
