ISTR it did likewise on the original .zip source I got by trying to snarf 
a complete web site so that I could have all the docs in hand as hard 
copy. wget failed on that too, but probably unrelated, the site didn't 
like a recursive wget.  There appears to be no place on the net, where a 
comlete .pdf of the dovecot docs can be had. You have to take it, one 
page at a time from their web site & print that.  And that sucks too 
long dead toads thru soda straws. No index, no cross-refs?  Bad dawgs.

Not your problem either Slavek.  Do carry on, IMO at a job that can be 
thankless at times, but which is very handy for us users.  I thank you 
for that, very much.

Cheers, Gene Heskett
