How do I get procmail to not change ^From appearing in the BODY to
"^>From"  ? 

From man procmail (directly under MISCELLANEOUS):

If  there is no Content-Length: field or the -Y option has
been specified and procmail appends to  regular  mailfold-
ers,  any  lines in the body of the message that look like
postmarks are prepended with `>' (disarms bogus  mailhead-
ers).   The  regular expression that is used to search for
these postmarks is:
       `\nFrom '
[...]
When in explicit delivery mode, procmail will  generate  a
leading  `From  '  line if none is present.  If one is al-
ready present procmail will leave it intact.  If  procmail
is  not invoked with one of the following user or group ids
: root, daemon, uucp, mail, x400,  network,  list,  slist,
lists  or  news, but still has to generate or accept a new
`From ' line, it will generate an additional `>From ' line
to help distinguish fake mails.
