        Many mailers leave their mark in the message id.  Yours is
<B136ZXKOHX2JH*/R=DANIEL/R=A1/U=GALPERIN/@MHS> which though I do not know
how to read it, I'm sure tells a great deal about what mailer you are
using.  There are also lines such as:

Importance: normal
Priority: normal
UA-content-id: B136ZXKOHX2JH
A1-type: MAIL

        Though they may be relatively common, this particular combination
is almost certianly unique to your mailer especialy if you include the
message-id.  A lot of tracks are left, though it is always easiest to look
at the X-Mailer line if avalable...
