I don't have fetchnews, nor slrn so I back off for a while:(
You could try to look into fetchmails logs, or make fetchmail more
verbose (add a few -v?) cause it doesn't tell all it could.

Wel I don't know whether the above is correct Afrikaans, but I sure
would think it means the same:) Afrikaans and Nederlands did part some
time ago, so by now there are many differences, but I found that if I
don't look to close I'm lured into believing I understand it, can't
say a thing in it ofcourse. Maybe that fact that I've read a lot of
Medieval Dutch poetry in it's original form may help me here, as there
too wordorder and spelling widely differ but if you squint it reads
just like Dutch today:)

Ah you own a bookstore. Oh the join of lingering in a good bookstore,
picking up books and entering new worlds...

...ah, but I prefer to sniff them, to feel them, hold them, read a bit.
You see, I'm not cut out for this computer age and modern shoping:)
You seem a decent block from your students hints and tips sections,
would I live in the far South I would certainly pay a visit to the
shop, some intriging titles you have there (would love to look through
The Owl House).
