I'll come back on this because I had trouble with it second time around. 
  The real trouble was that it should have been --qf. so the command 
line, in a state ready for copying, should be

rpm -qa --qf " %{NAME}\t%{VENDOR}\n " | grep -i atrpms

and obviously this needn't be specific to atrpms.

I think this character-modification must have arisen in the Apple/html 
email chain.  I'm seeing something strange in the revised 'Subject' 
here, too.

Coincidentally, Stephen Collier, the current builder of MythTV packages 
for the ATrpms environment, recently posted that

where the intention was to remove packages that might conflict with 
'his'.  :-)
