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
