I included the fetchmail port on the CD, which ran fine--until I realised that it had deleted the mail at the source and not stored it anywhere. On this (presumably vanilla) installation it was perfectly repeatable. I then deleted the fetchmail package and built it from the port. This build worked fine. I don't have time to dig into the cause of the problem. It's possible that there's something wrong in the installation (it was done by a beginner with only a little supervision on my part), but in any case, if you plan to use this package, make sure you save the original mail files before trying it. If anybody can shed light on the problem here, I'd be interested to hear about it. Greg -- When replying to this message, please copy the original recipients. If you don't, I may ignore the reply.
