Did you use Mutt to post this? I don't see it in your X-headers, and your

This would be better handled by a procmail recipe. Simply set the DEFAULT
environment variable to point at your mbox. You can then instruct mutt to
use your mbox as your mail spool by setting `spoolfile' in your .muttrc to
point to it... http://www.mutt.org/doc/manual/manual-6.html#spoolfile
