Yes, it is strange that those headers are in the middle
of the mail. It is also strange that the mail is missing
TO and SUBJECT, which I'm pretty sure that Eudora always
adds. That plus that fact that the first RECIEVED header
cannot be the one resulting from Eudora sending the mail
makes me beleive that the mail was through a APPROVE,
wasn't it?

If so this is my guess:
During APPROVE some headers were removed, and during that
process the empty line between the headers and the body
was made non-empty. That empty field may not even contain
white space:

<HEADER FIELD>CRLF
<HEADER FIELD>CRLF
<HEADER FIELD>CRLF
CRLF
<BODY LINE>CRLF
<BODY LINE>CRLF
<BODY LINE>CRLF


When Majordomo receives the mail the second time the
SECOND empty line was interpreted as the end of the
headers.
