I've run into this on occasion myself, and it causes me great confusion.  
Especially when the inbound routed netmail has passed through a few systems
on the way, the the "missing" system is right in the middle of
the list.

I have a couple links that do it now.
I'd have to go review and re-read old mail to get it down pat again, but
basically there is a way to cause the missing {at}Via line by doing some of
the routing with Irex, instead of doing the routing with the tosser/scanner
software. I think most tosser/scanner software would most likely place an
{at}Via stamp on the mail.  

More on topic:   I use Squish, and do 99.99% of my routing with a route.cfg
file in the Squish dir.  And good ol' Squish dutifully stamps an {at}Via line
on routed netmail passing through.  :)
