Yup, that was it. After sending my plea for help, I realized the 
message had to be in the source code of something. Didn't find it in 
fetchmail. Did find it in /usr/src/contrib/sendmail/cf/m4/proto.m4. And 
later found it in /etc/sendmail.cf.

Commenting out the line in sendmail.cf, and a "kill -HUP" to sendmail 
now lets this problem email arrive. I have mixed feelings about it, but 
my ISP already accepted delivery, so I might as well download it the 
rest of the way.

And no, the problem message was legit, not spam.
