ssl enabled pop3 client?

Hey;

I need an application like fetchmail that supports ssl and can
get pop3 email from an ISP then redirect it to either senmdmail
or procmail. I've been using fetchmail; however, my ISP apparently
does something squirrelly with their mail server which results in
me getting truncated attachments anytime the attachment is over
about 60-65K.

Anyone know of any other implementations of fetchmail that support
ssl that I migyht be able to try?

Thanks for any hints/tips/suggestions.

It's not the fetchmail support of ssl that's the problem. It's the
fact that fetchmail is apparently getting a POP end-o-message indicator
on/about the 80K mark. Fetchmail is acting correctly thinking the email
is finished, however, my attachments over 80K are coming in corrupted.

Apparently, I need something dumber than fetchmail - something that will
continue to receive the email until the mail server is done sending it
regardless of what end-o-message marks are sent.

Fetchmail works just fine for normal emails; however, when clients and
headhunters send me documents, I usually have to ask them to resend while
I configure my email client to get email off the ISP server directly vs
my Linux box.
