fetchmail doesn't like messages with NUL characters in the headers and I
have that problem and have to occassionally go in and manually delete
them from my ISP's mailbox. The consensus opinion I received when I last
dealt with trying to solve the problem is that my ISP probably shouldn't
be accepting those emails to begin with...damn Microsoft SMTP server.
