I was seeing them in KMail.  However, here, from the horse's mouth, so to 
speak, are the same lines (and a little more that might help):

Received: from mail.emblibrary.com ([69.54.45.82])
....
	(envelope-from <[email protected]>)
Received: from mail pickup service by mail.emblibrary.com with Microsoft 
SMTPSVC;
	 Wed, 16 Feb 2011 01:23:20 -0600
from:[email protected]
to: [email protected]
subject:Feather Your Nest - New at Embroidery Library!
X-Envelope-From: [email protected]

This is from the message viewed in a text editor.  It looks much the same to 
me.

I'm following the discussion and will continue to test the various theories 
over the next few days.  It's taken me so long to get to the point of asking 
for help that I can happily plod on slowly until I (hopefully) find the best 
answer.
