If you don't mind the added complexity, you can always tell fetchmail to
use procmail as your local delivery agent.  This gives you the
opportunity then to filter and sort mail as it comes in.

poll your.mail.host
       user 'you@mail.host' there with password 'XXXXXXXX' is 'you' here=20
       and wants mda /usr/local/bin/procmail

Just a thought.
