OT: UNIX email question/problem

We send emails out using the following commands

kk(500,*)="Generated from dailyimp/import\n"<aa{"| mail -s
"<ua<eb<"From"<ur<pn

system noredraw "echo"<kk

The values:
aa = "Route:"<dai(3)<"Client:"<co<"Confirmed Accts:"<dai(9)
ua = A message pulled from a file...in this case its
"A_TWL_Route_Has_Been_Confirmed"
eb = A message pulled from a file...in this case its the email address (one
of many)
ur = Is used to lookup the emaillist file... in this case its TWL
pn = Is used to lookup the emaillist file... in this case its dailyimp

Here is the email text we get:

Generated from dailyimp/importn Route: 281360 Client: OSI COLLECTION SERVI
Confirmed Accts: 703

It gets to who it should, but it also generates a bunch weird emails...like
these:

281360 at north-sh.nsa; 703 at north-sh.nsa; "Acc"@north-sh.nsa;
COLLECTION at north-sh.nsa; "Cli=?????????????; Confirmed at north-sh.nsa;
From at north-sh.nsa; OSI at north-sh.nsa; "Rou"@north-sh.nsa; SERVI at north-sh.nsa;
TV3 at north-sh.nsa; courtney at northshoreagency.com; dailyimp at north-sh.nsa

It appears to be picking up the addresses from the text I am sending
to...but how come I am not getting Accts:?  Does the ":" cause it to wipe
out the 3 rightmost characters?  Same with Client:

Our mini email address is north-sh.nsa...but no where do I or the processing
blow in that... so somehow what I send is being misinterpret...

Any ideas?
