To add to this: the malformed e-mails have an earlier timestamp than that of
the correct e-mails, eventhough I have sent the malformed e-mail later then
the correct one. This leads me to believe that the incorrect e-mail indeed
get send with another mailserver or get send through a different
mail-gateway 'route' if such a thing exists. I'll contact my webhost once
more, and tell them about this new finding. Perhaps, with this new
information, they suddenly know what might cause the problem.
