Actually, I'd imagine that one of the MTAs between him and the list put
that in. So it probably was a message header.
Watch; I'll put 'From '... at the beginning of the following line, and it'll
come out as '>From '...
From what I can tell, you will see this line munged up. It shouldn't cause
any problems.

I think whatever didn't escape it when the sender sent it is buggy. AFAIK,
most mail programs just look for '\n\nFrom ' to mark the beginning of a
new message.
