1. apt-get install popcheck.

2. Add the following line to your ~/.fetchmailrc:
   preconnect popcheck "-s pop3server -u pop3user -p pop3password"

3. Run fetchmail.

4. Use 'Q', 'S' or 'D' as appropriate.

Not tested extensively but it works, is interactive and gives you the
From: header, the subject line and size of the email.
