It would seem that something has wrapped a perectly good Mitteleuropa
timezone onto a seperate line, maybe after 72 characters. I expect this
has happened by something massaging the "batched SMTP" between production
and subsequent use, rather than being the fault of the system that
generated the Received header in the first place.

Provided that was all on one line, there's nothing wrong with it. But
if you split it so that the second line starts "8.7/..." then of course
you have done irreversible damage.
