Yes, so it does.  But it's still not conclusive - just because the message
arrived like that doesn't mean it was sent like that.  What do Demon have
to say about it?

I also presume you uuencoded this file directly and didn't edit it in any
way, because it shows up a couple of problems:

That blank line definitely shouldn't be there, and will break most mailers.

Those lines shouldn't be split like that, although this one could have been
caused by your uuencoder.
