There are a couple of problems with these headers.
The first problem is that it was sent without a Date: header. The Date:
header is required, so it looks like you probably have an older beta
version of WebBoard that is not RFC-compliant (note that even if this
E-mail gets delivered, it would get moved to the top of the recipient's
inbox, if they sort their E-mail by date).
The second problem is that the E-mail was missing a Message-ID: header (the
one you see is one that IMail added). That's not surprising, if they
didn't even have a Date: header.
Other problems include an invalid host name ("susan") that was used to send
the mail (although quite a few mail clients are mis-configured and do
this), and the "To:" header is bogus (it is identical to a header that just
has "To: ", which is not valid). So it sounds like this is probably a
"very beta" version of WebBoard.
