Hurrah! This sorts it nicely, thankyou. The permissions were set to 600
rather than 622; change 'em and it works nicely. Do you have any idea how
the permissions might have been set wrong in the first place? It worked
fine when I'd installed the Debian package, then after some fiddling with
fetchmail I got this weird delay. Anyhow, it's not important, it'd just
be nice to know.
thanks very much,
