Auto delete downloaded messages on gmail with a fetchmail sucker? I *think* I
am, but I see the man page says I need to set an option.
-K | --nokeep
(Keyword: nokeep) Delete retrieved messages from the remote
mailserver. This option forces retrieved mail to
be deleted. It may be useful if you have specified a default
of keep in your .fetchmailrc. This option is
forced on with ETRN and ODMR.
