Ha!  Wasted too much time trying to figure how I could have possibly done
this, just to discover I didn't.  I could bore you with the Received:
details, but the short story is that the mail was routed back to us by a
subscriber without altering any of the body or original headers... just
more received headers tacked on as it was re-routed to us.

Odd thing is, the account that bounced it back at us is a friend of ours
that moved out of town some years ago, whom we manage to visit from time
to time.  I didn't realize he was still subscribed.  Here's some of the
interesting bits...

Notice that Mbox-Line: in the middle of that and the time between it and
the next entry above it...  a five hour delay.  The message landed in his
mailbox, and when he checked his mail, something forwarded it right back
to the sender without modification.  Or something like that.

I wonder if it triggered a spam filter that routes stuff back to the
sender.
