How strange, I've never seen any received headers in a forwarded WetlLook 
attachment, whether I forwarded as attachment or pasted the spamitem into a 
new mail from the folders list.,  So I'm surprised that received lines are 
reordered, since they've never been served up for me.

Outlook Express , on the other hand, seems to work fine.
