Mike - the headers didn't include any scoring info so either gmail
doesn't include the scoring in the headers (it seems unlikely but it is
possible), or the more likely issue is that you have some rules/filters
set up that are performing the identification / movement not at the smtp
level but at the client level (i.e. when you log in to your account).
