Is an event like this of any interest? It has happened just once
in the three weeks since I started verifying the key fingerprint,
and did not recur on an immediate retry. Chances of getting it to
happen again, e.g. on current version of fetchmail or with a more
verbose log level, seem remote; but if it is a problem that "ought
to be fixed" and more details are needed I could change my log
settings and/or switch to a newer version so as to be better prepared
in case there is a "next time".
