+Specify how fetchmail is supposed to treat messages which fail to be
+retrieved due to server errors, i. e. fetching the message body fails with
+a server error. Traditionally, fetchmail has aborted the session leaving
+both the message with the error and any subsequent messages on the server.
+Both the continue and markseen options will allow the session to continue
+enabling subsequent messages on the server to be retrieved. You can now
+configure fetchmail's behaviour per server.
