A few things:

1) Your version of Fetchmail is terribly out of date - please update to the
current version (6.3.26 ISTR)
2) The formatting of your email makes it impractical to parse the messages.
If you can't correct the formatting in your mail client please use the
likes of pastebin.
3) It looks, from what I can parse, that the POP server is not well behaved
- it would be good to know technical details about that server to enable
folks to work out whether it really is the problem.
