Whoops! Embarrassing admission time. Your remark above triggered the thought processes and I've work out what I think happened. I am not yet using the linux mail processing as my main mail handler until I'm satisfied that it's working properly so I have set fetchmail not to delete mail from the server. But I also download the mail using OS/2 which then deletes the mail from the server. So I suspect that having chopped off Fetchmail's download leaving half an e-mail I subsequently re-booted into OS/2 and downloaded the mail. This would have then deleted the mail from the server so that the next time the mail server was checked using Fetchmail the e-mail as mentioned above was no longer there. I hadn't thought that through when I posted to this list. Apologies all round. If you ignore me I may go away! Barry Samuels
