-notruncate is an option I'd never used before. I didn't realize there were
any inc options that couldn't be reliably passed on to inc from qinc. I'll
fix now.

It's good that your mail isn't disappearing. The pop3 daemon that you're
polling is qmail's. It doesn't know how to read from the spool, only from
Maildirs. I know also that if there is a problem with my pop3 setup, it isn't
completely broken, since Tom and I both get our mail from charybdis via pop3
(with fetchmail) and neither of us are having problems.

Unfortunately, that also means whatever problem Jon is having isn't this one.
I have no idea what's going on there, since no one else is reporting bounces.

I'll do some more detective work and let you know what I see.
