All header lines must begin with * in the left column (0 or 1 depending on
how you number them).  Because your 'helpful' mail pgm decided to
word-wrap some of your longer lines, it caused 2 lines (at least as shown)
to not begin with * in the left column.  LISTSERV will interpret header
lines correctly, only if they begin with the * in the left column.
ANYTHING else will be assumed to be an address (even if it isn't) so
LISTSERV was trying to make the word 'list' and 'those' into addresses but
failed (because they are not) and told you so.
