Of course.  But the second (quoted) one which probably was there before
certainly isn't normal and shouldn't be there.

I compared with other machines (running SuSE, Solaris, DEC Unix) and
nowhere does sendmail produce this extra line.

It also confuses other software.  For example try to "bounce" one of these
mails with mutt: the mail looses all its header information.  Actually the
header lines now appear in the body of the message.  Similar things happen
with other programs.

Thanks,
 Andy.
