+ (description
+ "Fetchmail is a full-featured, robust, well-documented remote-mail
+retrieval and forwarding utility intended to be used over on-demand
+TCP/IP links (such as SLIP or PPP connections). It supports every
+remote-mail protocol now in use on the Internet: POP2, POP3, RPOP, APOP,
+KPOP, all flavors of IMAP, ETRN, and ODMR. It can even support IPv6
+and IPSEC.
+
+Fetchmail retrieves mail from remote mail servers and forwards it via SMTP,
+so it can then be read by normal mail user agents such as mutt, elm
+or BSD Mail. It allows all your system MTA's filtering, forwarding, and
+aliasing facilities to work just as they would on normal mail.")
