I have seen Novell GroupWise 6.5 insert a line containing just a
single tab character into the headers just above the "X-Mailer:"
line when it replied to email containing HTML. It messed up on
most email clients, but relaying via Amavis fixed it.

Probably not the problem here, as I guess you don't send HTML
emails and virgin.net probably doesn't use Groupwise.

If the blank lines are underneath the "Received:" lines then
maybe one of the relaying mail servers is inserting a double
new line character.
