I don't understand. You recognize that the embedded Approved: header
violates the syntax (by the embedded headers not being followed by a
blank line), doesn't include any of the usual headers (To:, From:,
Subject:), and then call to our attention that part of the message body
is incorrectly interpreted as headers (which the MTA rejects and thus
moves them and any following headers to the body)? Doctor, it hurts when
I do this! :-)

Try this instead (leading line quotes added for brain dead mail systems):

->Approved: <passwd>
->From: scrappy@hub.org
->To: netnotify@hub.org
->Subject: I finally learned how to use the Approved header
