        At first I too thought that the presence of the > would eliminate
the problem, but that's not the case.  UCLA has (or at least had) a mail
system that insists on quoting the entire mail message, header and all, and
although all the lines are prefaced by >, mail from UCLA repeatedly gets
rejected by LISTSERV.
