My off-the-cuff guess is somehow Outlook is munging the email headers: Each line should immediately follow the next, and they should have the same HEADERTYPE[COLON]HEADERCONTENT format.

But Outlook is putting some email references in the middle of them, which do not follow that format shown above, and because every email-reader expects an empty line at the end of the headers, they display what follows as though it were the content of your email, and not more headers. Either that or something along the route between you and the vanagon mail server is munging the headers, but I sorta doubt that or they'd be getting a lot of attention from outlook users and their servicer providers.

I don't use Outlook, so I can't say what you may do to stop that behavior, but it's possible there is a setting to stop or start tracking conversations, or however outlook sorts mail, that might be toggled to stop the behavior. The mail reference IDs are where it's messing up.
