Not officially at the moment, since that would only work properly for
singledrop, and because it may make sense to regenerate mandatory headers
in case the SMTP listener doesn't.

But there are more important bugs to address first, and workarounds are
usually low-priority if they intend to work around other server's bugs.

Gentoo however have a patch to let fetchmail continue to ship those
messages, but evidently you're getting whatever your local SMTP/LMTP server
or MDA make of the junk they're given. Some try to normalize, some reject,
you never know until you check the specs, the configuration and everything
else -- Rob is right in that we'd best stuff the remaining shards and
pieces of the message into some kind of plastic bag before shipping them
on, and that requires a lot of work I'm not going to spend on 6.3 which is
essentially "bug fixes only".

Sorry.

Best regards
