I was using the short form with fetchmail 6.3.9. So, it was either not 
complaining about the invalid option or it was working. I tend to believe it 
is the latter as our mails were processed as expected and we had problems 
before that option was added.

On the other hand, I don' t see any change in the source code between versions 
6.3.8 and 6.3.15 that could explain why the option ceased to work or why it 
would start complaining...
