I've also been battling From escaping in the body of messages - whenever
From appears at the beginning of a line, it is escaped -- not on messages
delivered to accounts not running scripts, but to my filtering accounts.  I
add a header via formail -A, (to flag to my popmail client where to file
the message), and have added a -b to that, but it doesn't seem to make any
difference.

Procmail escapes "From " lines whenever it delivers to a file, unless
the recipe has the 'r' flag, or procmail was _not_ invoked with the -Y
flag and there's a Content-Length: header that procmail can rewrite to
cover the body.  Procmail doesn't do "From " escaping when delivering
to programs or directory folders.

The other possibility is that sendmail's prog mailer may have the 'E'
flag, in which case sendmail is going the escaping.
