Headers like "Received" or  "From" are missing.

Something bothers me here... how do you get mail with NO Received headers?
I would think there should be at least one reflecting your local mail server
(and showing where it got it from).

This looks like perhaps something that's getting to your mailbox by
some route other than normal mail delivery.
