[fetchmail]Leave POP3 server flags alone for webmail niceness

This is Fetchmail 6.2.5 against a GMX.de StreamProxy POP3 server.

After running fetchmail, all the messages in my inbox (viewed via GMX 
webmail) are marked read.  I notice fetchmail is using RETR, but I think the 
docs imply it should use TOP (unless, perhaps, it's using KEEP to leave 
messages on the server?).

My goal: have fetchmail leave all mail on the server _and_ leave the server 
flags alone (so the webmail interface doesn't think I've read messages just 
because I've POP'd them, for example).

Any advice?  Can I force fetchmail to use TOP?  Will that help? (-:
