There is no delimiter line between headers and body. This is causing
the 'incorrect header' message.
color=#000000></DIV></FONT></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE></TD></TR>

.
My guess is that your pop3 server is sending just '.\n' as the mail
delimiter line. fetchmail is currently searching only for '.\r\n'.
Thus, fetchmail is waiting for more data and eventually times out.
Please try the following patch:

Note that this will still cause the mail to be retained. Whether such
mails should be retained or deleted automatically is a separate issue.
I think I will address it in a separate mail.
