The reason is the "Via:" and "Mail-from:" headers on the messages; the msg program interprets any line it cannot understand (that is, any line beginning with anything but "Date:", "Sender:", "From:", "Subject:", or "To:") as the end of the header. Note that the header format on the Unix-wizards messages is acceptable according to RFC 733, although the format expected by our version of the msg program is the "recommended" one.

Note also, if you're trying to fix this, that ANY message format containing a "Date:" line and a "From:" line somewhere before the message body is acceptable according to RFC 733. -------
