You want to look at the full, uneditied header, not the highly redacted
message you forwarded.  Follow the chain of "Received" headers to see
where the message really came from.  The top-most one will most likely
be google receiving the mail from the spammer.  The ones below that are
most likely fiction injected by the spammer.  Discount every header that
was added by the spammer.  Only the top ones added by your service
provider (google) can be trusted.
