<h1>General questions:</h1>
POP (or preferably IMAP) server that isn't brain-dead. OpenMail's
project manager claims these bugs have been fixed in 6.0.

+<h2><a name="S7">S7. How can I use fetchmail with geocities POP3 servers?</a></h2>
+
+Nathan Cutler reports that the the mail.geocities.com POP3 servers
+fail to include the first Received line of the message in the send to
+fetchmail. This can solve problems if your MUA interprets Received
+continuations as body lines and doesn't parse any of the following
+headers.
+
+<p>Workaround is to use "mda" keyword or "-mda" switch:
+<pre>
+mda "sed -e '1s/^\t/Received: /' | formail | /usr/bin/procmail -d <user>"
+</pre>
+Replace \t with exactly one tabulation character.
+
+You should also consider using "fetchall" option because Geocities' servers
+sometimes think that the first 45 messages have already been read.
+
+<p>Fix: Get an email provider that doesn't suck. The pop-up ads on
+Geocities are lame, you should boycott them anyway.
