Apologies for repeating my message - the Cygwin list would only let me sign
up using my googlemail account - then googlemail caught your response in a
delete filter :-(

The fetchmail simply reports that each message is "flushed".  The log
entries in this regard are identical on both machines.  The log makes
no reference in either case to MDA, even though on the netbook the
MDA is correctly invoked.  The fetchmail man page does not say whether
MDA execution is logged, or whether there are more verbose forms of
logging that might catch this.  It simply says the message was "flushed".
