+You can't.  Microft exchange is broken.  Guido Van Rooij explains:<P>
+
+We're having problems using fetchmail to etch mail from an Exchange server
+with POP3. The bug is actually in the Exchange site however it seems possible
+to have fetchmail work around it.<P>
+
+<blockquote>
+What happens is that a LIST command does not reveal the REAL sizes of mail
+in the pop mailbox, but the sizes of the compressed versions in the
+exchange mail database.<P>
+
+So when fetchmail tries to read the headers AND if the mail is too short,
+it fails and a newline is inserted within the headers.
+Usually this does not happen because even the compressed mailsize 
+exceeds the header size but if you send an empty mail to the Exchange
+address you can reproduce this.<P>
+</blockquote>
+
+Some future release of fetchmail may work around this bug, but don't
+hold your breath.<P>
