  Much in the way (well, one way) I can tell from my end.  The To: field is 
invalid, or does not contain my correct email address.

  If anyone sending a valid email to me can't get at least that part of the 
header right, I'm not interested in reading it.  With me, statistically, it 
appears a 100% correct assumption so far.
