That is most definitly not a default postfix header. Google was kind
enough to inform me that this is in fact a Hotmail header:
http://www.google.nl/search?q=X-OriginalArrivalTime

I have seen headers break up in situations where someone ignores the RFC
and starts to use something besides the CR-LF combinations that one MUST
use at the end of a line.
