Is there a way to tell fetchmail to list the Subject: and From:
headings of the mail waiting at the server without actually
downloading it?

Also, can one tell fetchmail to download only a particular e-mail?
How about to delete remote e-mail?

This would be useful when one gets a lot of spam...to download only the
real e-mail and delete the obvious spam.

Thanks,

-Tony

Search freshmeat.net, there is a perl script called 'poppy', which
can do what you want.
