>Description:
Add an entry to ports/UPDATING regarding a common and known issue with
mail/getmail and Python 2.4 where a DeprecationWarning is thrown. There
is no official fix from the getmail developer, but the warning message
can be quelched by redirecting stdout/stderr to /dev/null.

Feel free to tweak the wording if necessary.

+  There is a known quirk when using mail/getmail with Python 2.4
+  where the DeprecationWarning is printed regarding the use of
+  the 'strict' keyword when a message is being retrieved.
+
+  You can redirect stdout/stderr to /dev/null to quelch the warning.
+
+  The quirk may be fixed in a future version of getmail.
