Well, I'm not asking fetchmail to process bad headers. But evidently
fetchmail is capable of detecting that some headers are bad. Given that
it can do that, it would seem to make sense to skip just that one
message and move onto the other messages in the POP3 box. At the moment,
if you have a mailbox with 5 messages in it and the first of those is
malformed, none of them will be fetched. But it would make sense to
fetch the four that are good and leave the bad one in there.
