Surely this should have been (not checked the actual line length numbers):-

024 Subject: Invoice 276455
025 X-PHP-Script: ubhugueufi
058F From: "Sue Mockridge" <sue.mockridge@???>
062 X-Sender: "Sue Mockridge" <sue.mockridge@???>

although I suspect there is missing content on the end of the
X-PHP-Script line.

That one is missing a chunk - presumably the start of the Date line...

So it looks as though something skipped a chunk of characters when
writing the data out (since the lengths have been calculated already the
data must be lost very late on in the receive/pre-process/write cycle).

Odd
