And that's what you were looking for.  The message was truncated by the ISP.

Now, you may want to trawl the archive for this list if you haven't
already.  I've a vague memory of Comcast having a broken POP service. 
If I'm right, there's a fix buried in the list.

Off the top of my head, fetchmail uses TOP to pull down messages and
some servers don't behave "correctly" with TOP.  You can force
fetchmail to use RETR by using the "fetchall" keyword.
