I view your messages (which I gather are sent as html) as plain
text. Clearly there are some obfuscatory artifacts arising from the
conversion process.

But, regardless of this, there is no 'dd' to be found in your command
line above (neither in the text version I have included, nor in the
html version).

What command did you actually issue? (Command history files, like
~/.bash_history , might be more reliable than your wetware memory.)
