IMHO, it is still to sensitive.

While ">SENDER: . . . . ." is ignored, "> SENDER: . . ." is not.

And some people (like myself) use a different quoting character.

IMHO, if there is anything other than whitespace between the beginning
of a line and the header keyword, the header keyword should be treated
as straight text.

Nathan, could this get us into trouble in some condition I am not aware
of?
