I can't believe this, but I nor my friend can't reproduce the behavior I
was seeing originally. I did recently upgrade my phone version, so that
may have been it or I'm just losing my mind. Sorry.

Disregard. Sorry again, I can't explain or reproduce what I (thought) I
had seen. But I'll keep those things in mind if there's a next time.
Maybe mine (Fastmail) or my friend's (Exchange) IMAP service did rewrite
just those emails...
