yeah, maybe I misunderstood, but my take was that the problem was 
caused by the some intermediary which did not treat the message/rfc822 
body part as an opaque object.  that seems like a bug regardless of 
whether the From_ line is there.  though I suppose if it went through 
an 8bit to 7bit conversion the intermediary would be expected to 
convert any internal message/rfc822 body parts to  7bit also, and such 
a conversion might be confused by a From_ line.
