I had a similar line, but with my address. The listserv inserts this
so that when you unsubscribe you know which From: address to use,
otherwise people with multiple addresses and/or complicated forwarding
arrangements could find it impossible to unsubscribe.
The listserv tries to insert it at the end of the message, or at the
end of the first text part if it is in MIME format. The fact that you
included lines which looked like MIME headers confused the listserv
as to where the end of the message was.
(So a bug in the MIME handling of the server, but you can see why it's
there: the server wants to know *quickly* where the message ends,
without completely parsing the mail, otherwise it becomes a serious
delivery bottleneck.)
