I use the default configuration, but no headers are inserted,
whats the problem?
which is the best header to add?

here is an part of the fetchmail man-page:

---snip---
       Then  fetchmail  looks for the Resent-To:, Resent-Cc:, and
       Resent-Bcc: lines.  If they exists,  they  should  contain
       the  final  recipients  and  have  precedence  over  their
       To:/Cc:/Bcc: counterparts.  If the Resent-* lines  doesn't
       exist,  the  To:,  Cc:,  Bcc: and Apparently-To: lines are
       looked for. (The presence of  a  Resent-To:  is  taken  to
       impluy  that  the  person  referred by the To: address has
       already received the original copy of the mail).
---snip---


that means that the " Envelope-To:" would not really help?
