I wouldn't say fetchmail is broken.  The bare LFs weren't inserted by
fetchmail, they're being passed on unchanged from the original source.
Alternatively, fetchmail provides an option, forcecr, that will make sure
every line ends with a CRLF.  http://cr.yp.to/docs/smtplf.html covers this.

I like that feature.  At any rate, fetchmail also offers delivery straight
to an MDA.
