Attached message header order

B

Brant Gurganus

It would seem the the Received headers can get scrambled when you forward a
message as an attachment or you attach a message to a newly sent message.
That is, the headers are out of order. Have others encountered this? Is there
a workaround? Is this a known issue?

For instance, an excerpt of the headers in a message while still in Outlook
2007:
Received: from rhspam.rose-hulman.edu (137.112.8.19) by
exchange.rose-hulman.edu (137.112.1.25) with Microsoft SMTP Server (TLS) id

<gurganbl[at]rose-hulman.edu>; Sun, 05 Apr 2009 10:33:23 -0400 (EDT)

And the first few headers once again after that message was sent as an
attachment to another e-mail address:
Received: (qmail 92695 invoked from network); 5 Apr 2009 14:32:35 -0000
