[fetchmail] message delimiter found while scanning headers?

2003-10-12 14:42:21
My yahoo email box is getting hit with emails containing the 
W32(_dot_)Swen(_dot_)A(_at_)mm
virus. My guess is this virus produces emails with mal-formed headers.
Fetchmail appears not to be able to download these mails. It
gives up leaving the legitimate messages on the yahoo server rather than
downloading them. Here's a log of the Fetchmail run. Any ideas?
