FTP_PASSWORD is intended to use for anonymous ftp. That is, e-mail address or equivalent. This behavior is just corresponding to existing fetch(1).

For example, ftp.Mew.org don't like this, and I cannot get magicpoint archive. -- Hajimu UMEMOTO @ Business Solution System Development Div., Hitachi Ltd.
