Well, I see you've found the solution to this problem :)

Read below for more info on the anonymous ftp problem.

Ok, I was able to reproduce this behaviour on  my WinXP Home
Edition... So it seems there is some kind of a problem (at least for me and you).
For the record I'm running 1.3.10 and inetutils 1.3.2-17.

I got the sources for inetutils and I'm going to debug it this night.

Btw reading the inetutils README file I've noticed this:

Version 1.3.2-6: Fix complete_login to allow anonymous ftp to enter
                 mail address as password.


Seems like this was a problem before and strikes back... I'll
investigate further.
