Sounds like there was no empty line between the end of the headers and the
body.

All MIME mail messages are required to separate the headers from the body.
Only hand-written spammers and virus writers are known to differ on this...

That "Content-Type: text/PLAIN" smells handwritten to me... Unfortunately
you didn't include the body of the message so we can't tell.

Well, the space following the header from the "head" output is showing the point between the header and the body. I do see two "nl" in a row signifying the start of the body.

Since it was header analysis, I didn't see the body as being much use,
but I gave you the header and the dividing space.
It could well be the message was handwritten. It's heavy into long lines
in the body. I'm still unsure what it saw to make it react so.

Here's the actual quarantined message, via the web.
