But escaping "From " to ">From " should be done only by the program
that writes to an mbox formatted file.
See: http://qmail.org/qmail-manual-html/man5/mbox.html
Looks like another thing that his MUA (header says X-Mailer: Microsoft
Office Outlook 11) is doing wrong.
[Unless it is an artifact of the mailing list software, in which case
I would apologize to the makers of said MUA. But if I had to bet, I
would say it's the MUA's fault.]
