Doesn't mbox format have some way of escaping "From:" (or is it "From ")?
If I remember correctly it uses ">From " or something for that.
git-format-patch could do this also (perhaps only with --rebasing
option).

P.S. As git-format-patch / git-am have hidden --rebasing option,
perhaps git-mailinfo should have it as well (even if it is called
--strict).
