1) Open to suggestion to replace fetchmail

2) Error messages vary.  One sample is "This is a MIME message.  If you are
reading this text, you may want to consider changing to a mail reader or
gateway that understands how to properly handle MIME messages."

My mail read will handle MIME, however, I'm not sure what it wants as far as
a gateway.  Could it be fetchmail or is there another missing link I have
overlooked?

qmail has no problems with MIME. I suspect some other cause.
