A further reference to the manual probably wouldn't help - this thread
is pretty good proof that unless you hold people's hands they'll still
fail.

Maybe:

fetchmail: warning: WARNING WARNING WARNING
fetchmail: warning: multidrop for pop.example.org requires the
envelope option to be set
fetchmail: warning: Read "The use and abuse of multidrop mailboxes" in
the man page
fetchmail: warning: Do not ask for help if your mail is not correctly deliv=
ered
fetchmail: warning: WARNING WARNING WARNING

Possibly with a few more WARNING's :-)
