If you're going to worry about "From ", you also need to worry about
">From ", ">>From ", etc. Some of the systems that do > escaping also
escape those forms.

But, and this is a BIG BUT, the systems that perform >From escaping do
it only when the mail is written to the final mailbox, and not to mail
being passed on to other systems.

This is actually a case that you DON'T need to really worry about.
