After reading the various articles discussing sending mail to CompuServe (tm) 
I decided to test the mailer at this site. I sent the following test message to:
postmaster@compuserve.com

This site is running Mail User's Shell (mush) 6.5.6 6/89. I have the autoroute
feature set in my .mushrc.

My question is: Why on Earth is this header so loooong? I can't quite make out
the process by which it got to 
Compuserve and then back to me. Any mail gurus care to answer?

The messaage follows:
