this seems to be a broken spamassassin setup on the server 
(glacier.frostconsultingllc.com) josh is sending his mails through.

the relevant part of the header is:
X-Spam-Score: -2.9 (--)
X-Spam-Report: Spam detection software, running on the system 
"glacier.frostconsultingllc.com", hasidentified this incoming email as possible spam.  The original messagehas been
attachedto this so you can view it (if it isn't spam) or labelsimilar future email.  If you have any questions, seethe

(sorry if the formating breaks)

this seems that somebody seriously fatfingered the spamassassin 
reporting template (in addition to the fact that the systems seems to 
apply spamchecking even to mails sent from authenticated users) and the 
MTA integration.
