If you look at the headers, it actually *does* contain that
information. It's just encoded in a way that Outlook
understands. Spammers enjoy finding new and unique ways to hide what they
are doing. It's just odd that they are doing that to the From: and
Subject: headers, which doesn't hide any useful tracing information.
