That is not quite true.  The RFC says only that lines matching "^From "
should be quoted, not lines matching "^>From " (or, generally, "^>*From
").  So the quoting is lossy; it is *not* possible to tell whether a
line starting with ">From " should be unquoted (it could have been
">From " in the original).
