It's probably because your settings are such that it's writing those
headers in every email, if you read it says that it's possibly spam.
Your mail client shouldn't display these headers unless you view all
headers. I can't recall the setting that sets if it prints this or not,
if someone else on the list knows please post if not i'll dig it up in a
bit.
