Cheers Phil,

This did exactly what it needed to do with little change to the existing
setup - the message is treated almost exactly the same, and could almost
work without the -oMr.

[destination]
type = MDA_external
path = /usr/bin/exim
arguments = ("-oMr", "getmail", "-f", "%(sender)", "me@???")

The -bS parameter sent me a long way wrong, and I lost sight of how
simple this really should have been.
