Thanks, Patrick, but the reason for my writing is that this approach (using the command "fetchmail > /dev/null 2>&1" did not work. It seems that if I run the command from a command prompt, it works: the fetchmail error or report is sent to the bit bucket. But if I run fetchmail with cron, the errors and reports end up being sent to mutt. It seems that cron is treating error messages and reports from fetchmail as ordinary messages rather than as errors. I suppose the answer might be to run fetchmail as daemon. I'll try that next.
