Chris,

To use the classic snail-mail analogy, what you're seeing is the letter itself, not 
the envelope it was delivered in.  The envelope in this case is the actual SMTP 
session which led to this mail being routed to your account.  One difference is that 
the P.O. routing stamps in the case of email aren't on the envelope but are in the 
form of Received headers in the letter itself.  Some MTAs will sometimes show the 
intended envelope recipient in their Received headers, but some, like yours, don't.  
So, you can't really tell what the envelope said, only what the contents are.

Hehe, so true.
