Thanks... I've cleaned up the crippled fetchmail and now can run the
scripts I posted .  Sure enough the mail is fetched to local incoming
spool.

*BUT* it is snatched from the parent incoming spool, so that the
 parent (remote) looses access.  This is not what I was after.  I want
 both machines to be able to process the same mail in whatever way
 needed.

Back to duplicating with procmail on parent (remote) .  But how to aim
fetchmail at the duplicated spool?  Maybe a dummy account for the
laptop to access... I'll try that.
