The problem is the malformed Received header above.  There's no
colon after "Received", therefore it's not a header, and
therefore VM thinks the header section of the message has ended.
All the rest of the headers are left in the never-never-land
between the header and text sections.  Thanks go to Bill
Carpenter for pointing out the real problem to me via private
e-mail.

The solution is to get your mailer fixed.  Feeding non-RFC822
standard messages into VM voids your warranty. :-)
