From https://sourceforge.net/projects/fetchmail/files/branch_6.5/
version 6.5 has (or will have, it is still in beta)

* fetchmail, with --logfile, now logs time stamps into the file, in localtime
    and in the format "Jun 20 23:45:01 fetchmail: ". It will be localized
    through the environment variables LC_TIME (or LC_ALL) and TZ.

I did't run v6.4 in verbose mode, so didn't get the
     sleeping at ...
messages.
