  Here's the beginning of the header of your message:

  I have underlined the relevant catchwords (you see it correctly only 
when you use a non-proportional font for the message) and capitalized 
the keywords. 

  The general format of the "Received:" header is: 

> Received: FROM <fromdomain> BY <receivingdomain> [ VIA <link> WITH 
<protocol> ID <string> FOR <path|mailbox>] ; timestamp

  The part(s) in brackets [ are optional ]. 

  Following the protocol (typically SMTP or ESMTP) you find quite often 
(in parenthesis ()) the name and version of the SMTP-server being used.
