Yeah, ok, sorry. I forgot that everyone is not me. Drat. Have to
remember that.
1. If security on your machine isn't a big deal so that you're ok with
a cleartext 600-mode file with your POP password (not necessarily the
same as your login password), and you need to forward *all* POP mail
to someone else, not just the occasional bit, so that you want this
all automated, then fetchmail is a good solution.
2. Otherwise, as my colleague from Germany notes, one can simply use
mutt to tag all messages (T-.) and bounce them all (;-b).
