Even I am facing the same problem. Could you please tell me one thing ? How do
I look at the mail along with its envelope and all other information. I tried
something like

fetchmail --mda cat -p pop3 ....

It fetches the mail from the server and pipes it to cat. The issue out here is
I want them to be sent to the  sendmail daemon as well.  How can I do this ?
