 | showed that the source of the `From ' line is upstream of my .forward,

I use:

      formail < "$F" -I "From " -Y -s procmail

where "$F" is an mbox format file -- it would work with a single message
on stdin as well) like

      | formail -I "From " -Y -s procmail

That deletes the "From " stuff, and makes the message format just fine for
both |rcvstore and direct storage into MHY folders (I use both, rcvstore
when I want unseen sequence updates, and direct storage when I don't).

And if you want to keep it around, you can do what I do:
# Change "From " to "X-Envelope-From:"
:0 fhw
| formail -f -R "From " "X-Envelope-From:"
