If I understand the various tools correctly I don't believe any settings
in sendmail will affect how fetchmail works.  Fetchmail should be
connecting to your ISP accounts pretty much like your email client does
using pop or imap and pulling the email down and storing it in your
mailbox so you can access it locally using pop or imap.  

Would be interesting to identify the incorrect header it is choking on. 
Sounds like a good item to file a bug report on so it can be fixed.
