OK, LSoft, I've already tested this problem enough to know how to
duplicate it:

I've noticed recently that Listserv has a habit of inserting the
">" character whenever a paragraph in the message begins with the
word "From" (with an uppercase "F").  Thus a sentence that started
with "F" now starts with ">F".

By the way I'm running 1.8d.

Why does Listserv have this "feature" ?
