1.  You are restricted by the incomprehensibility of the fetchmail man
    page when it comes to multidrop.

2.  Your ISP MUST MUST MUST put in Envelope-to: headers or
    Originally-to: headers or something.  Fetchmail cannot generally
    recognise the intended recipient from the Received: headers when
    the To: and Cc: headers are missing. If you ask them nicely, they can
    do this.  Mweb managed to do it for us -- bonus points to them.

3.  If a single mail goes to joe@multidrop and fred@multidrop and ends up
    in the same place, either joe or fred may not get it. YMMV.

4.  Big mails block the queue.  Secret recipe fixes this.
