Odd (to me)email info

I have been asked to look at some emails and while I was looking at them (text mode) I saw the following in the body: Date: Fri, 1 May 2009 13:29:47 -0400 From:X <X () georgiasouthern edu<http://us.mc455.mail.yahoo.com/mc/compose?to=X () georgiasouthern edu>
To:Y () gmail com<http://us.mc455.mail.yahoo.com/mc/compose?to=Y () gmail com> Cc:Z <Z () georgiasouthern edu<http://us.mc455.mail.yahoo.com/mc/compose?to=Z () georgiasouthern edu> Where X,Y, and Z are three different email accounts. When the email is viewed as HTML it just shows the 3 different email accounts. X () georgiasouthern edu, Y () gmail com, etc. What does the us.mc455.mail.yahoo.com... mean with the local email domain and gmail domain attached? These are not in the headers, they are in the body of the email. I've googled it but can't find anything that tells me what it is. Any help in determining what this means would be greatly appreciated.
