But but but, what if a message contains a paragraph that starts with

If a line (not just a paragraph, some mailers don't even require a
blank line before the "From " line) begins with "From ", it must be
quoted, usually to ">From ".
I typed "From the halls of Montezuma" preceded and followed by a blank
line into my large mail/filtered file, in the middle of an extant
message, and Pine didn't react to it. I added a few "Received:" lines
immediately after it, and it did. (It became upset).
The message that you added it to probably has a "Content-Length:"
header and/or a "Lines:" header, causing pine to ignore "From " lines
in the body.

To err is human -- to blame it on a computer is even more so.
