It seems to me you need to raise this to the faulty software
mailinglist. In this case it seems squirrelmail is the culprit.

But I must admit we use Squirrelmail for a few family members and no one
reported this issue. So I guess it related to the way you handle your
total setup that results in these messages.

With the current (lack of) information there is very little to
investigate. Check logs, show the message in full, .....
